When the linux kernel is build with (typical kernel ship with Debian
installer):
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_OF=y
CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y
CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m
The offb driver takes precedence over module radeonfb. It is then
impossible to load the module, error reported is:
[ 96.551486] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: enabling device (0006 -> 0007)
[ 96.551526] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: BAR 0: can't reserve [mem 0x98000000-0x9fffffff pref]
[ 96.551531] radeonfb (0000:00:10.0): cannot request region 0.
[ 96.551545] radeonfb: probe of 0000:00:10.0 failed with error -16
This patch reproduce the behavior of the module radeon, so as to make it
possible to load radeonfb when offb is first loaded, see

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
