I think this patch tries to solve two problems, and it should be split
into two patches:

  1) Identify firmware framebuffer on arches other than x86 and ia64
  2) Deal with VGA devices where the PCI core has moved the BAR
     containing the framebuffer

For x86 and ia64, vga_is_firmware_default() currently gets the
framebuffer base and size from screen_info.  Whenever
vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() adds a VGA device, we check to see if it
has a BAR containing the framebuffer.

It looks like this patch retains that for x86 and ia64, but only if
CONFIG_EFI=y.  I think CONFIG_EFI is optional for both x86 and ia64,
so it looks like this will break systems where CONFIG_X86=y and
CONFIG_EFI is not set.

This doesn't build on x86:

It's redundant to save start, size, and end.  Start and end should be
enough, and maybe you could use a struct resource for that.

It's not clear to me why you need to save the start/end/etc anyway.
All we need to know is which pci_dev is the firmware device.  Doesn't
your fixup quirk identify it?  Once you set firmware_fb.pdev, I don't
think it's ever changed.

What's the connection between CONFIG_EFI and screen_info?  I see
screen_info global symbols for alpha, hexagon, powerpc, sparc, and
several more if CONFIG_VT.  Please explain the connection so we can
easily verify it.

This should be %pR format (see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst?id=v6.4#n205).

Maybe you could even use struct resource directly instead of
new_fb_start old_fb_start, old_fb_end.

Maybe these "get_fb_range" functions could even *return* a struct
resource * instead of a boolean?  Boolean functions should not have
side-effects anyway, and ideally their names should be questions with
true/false answers or assertions that are true or false, e.g.,
"pcie_cap_has_lnkctl()", "pci_ats_supported()",
"of_device_is_compatible()", etc.

vga_is_firmware_default() is a boolean function and should have no
side effects.  But vga_arb_get_fb_range_from_tracker() *does* have
side effects -- it may update firmware_fb.start/end.

It's OK if you need to update those, but I don't think it should be in
the vga_is_boot_device().  And vga_arb_get_fb_range_from_tracker()
doesn't have anything to do with the specific device being added by
vga_arbiter_add_pci_device(), so it should only need to be called
once.  If you only need a one-time thing, maybe it should be called
from vga_arb_device_init()?

What does "ap" mean?  Typical name for such a pointer is "r" or "res".

Include at least the %pR of the BAR and maybe of the framebuffer
itself as well.
