------------------

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

commit 8c5b044299951acd91e830a688dd920477ea1eda upstream.

I have a USB display adapter using the udlfb driver and I use it on an ARM
board that doesn't have any graphics card. When I plug the adapter in, the
console is properly displayed, however when I unplug and re-plug the
adapter, the console is not displayed and I can't access it until I reboot
the board.

The reason is this:
When the adapter is unplugged, dlfb_usb_disconnect calls
unlink_framebuffer, then it waits until the reference count drops to zero
and then it deallocates the framebuffer. However, the console that is
attached to the framebuffer device keeps the reference count non-zero, so
the framebuffer device is never destroyed. When the USB adapter is plugged
again, it creates a new device /dev/fb1 and the console is not attached to
it.

This patch fixes the bug by unbinding the console from unlink_framebuffer.
The code to unbind the console is moved from do_unregister_framebuffer to
a function unbind_console. When the console is unbound, the reference
count drops to zero and the udlfb driver frees the framebuffer. When the
adapter is plugged back, a new framebuffer is created and the console is
attached to it.
