vga_default_device() is part of vgaarb and can return NULL. [1] That new 
test is likely to be incorrect on many systems.

I suggest to implement a helper like fb_is_primary_device() on x86: it 
uses the default VGA if set, or falls back to the original test. [2]

It's noteworthy that on most architectures, fb_is_primary_device() 
returns 0. But at least on Sparc [3] and some Parisc [4] machines, it 
does not.

I've long wanted to rework this helper anyway. So this is a good 
opportunity.

Best regards
Thomas
