Q: What if we did something like the patch below?

A:

But the vga_is_firmware_default() function only works on X86 and IA64,
you patch doesn't solve the problems on ARM64 and LoongArch.

Q:

I think it will be
less confusing if we only have one copy of the code related to
screen_info.

A:

Since you have already know everything, you can do anything with those two patch
if you would like to pick them up. As I have spend enough more time on this, if
two copy of the screen_info really matters, Would you mind to squash those two
patch into one?
