That would work but according to your comment here: https://patchwork.f
reedesktop.org/patch/196089/ that would lead to a crash in some case.

In the deferred_setup case, won't it go to intelfb_create() and after
that point if we still have no ifdev->vma we won't hit any other pathway?

Just because it's been historically buggy (at least 2 instances now of
having to apply protection here), it may have been fixed... Unlikely,
but maybe it all finally works.
