aty128_init calls register_framebuffer() before it assigns pdev.

   2028         if (register_framebuffer(info) < 0)
   2029                 return 0;
   2030 
   2031         par->pm_reg = pci_find_capability(pdev, PCI_CAP_ID_PM);
   2032         par->pdev = pdev;
   2033         par->asleep = 0;
   2034         par->lock_blank = 0;
