firmware: coreboot: framebuffer: Avoid invalid zero physical address
On ARM64 systems coreboot defers framebuffer allocation to its payload, to be done by a libpayload function call. In this case, coreboot tables still include a framebuffer entry with display format details, but the physical address field is set to zero (as in [1], for example). Unfortunately, this field is not automatically updated when the framebuffer is initialized through libpayload, citing that doing so would invalidate checksums over the entire coreboot table [2]. This can be observed on ARM64 Chromebooks with stock firmware. On a Google Kevin (RK3399), trying to use coreboot framebuffer driver as built-in to the kernel results in a benign error. But on Google Hana (MT8173) and Google Cozmo (MT8183) it causes a hang. When the framebuffer physical address field in the coreboot table is zero, we have no idea where coreboot initialized a framebuffer, or even if it did. Instead of trying to set up a framebuffer located at zero, return ENODEV to indicate that there isn't one.
