This doesn't look correct:
- PPC is not only PowerMac and offb supports more cards
than radeon (while radeonfb can be used for secondary
graphics card)
- offb can be disabled
(i.e. in CONFIG_FB_OF=n && CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y case error
checking will be missing now)
The last put_fb_info() on fb_info should call ->fb_destroy
(offb_destroy in our case) and remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
is calling put_fb_info() so there is some extra reference on
fb_info somewhere preventing it from going away.
Please look into fixing this.
