[Nouveau] [PATCH] Accept 3d controllers and not only VGA controllers.

Accept 3d controllers and not only VGA controllers. According to Ilia
Mirkin,
the VGA controller check should be removed. This makes it possible
to use external connectors on a docking station (40A5) for a Thinkpad P51.
(See Bug 101778).

lspci example:

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GLM [Quadro M1200 Mobile]
(rev a2)

Also include safe-guards to avoid NULL dereferencing of fbcon, which is
how this bug was found.

Hi,

the patch looks OK to me, yet as noted in IRC, i'd like to have this 
patch split into two and have the ->fbcon check as a precondition to the 
3D Controller part. But lets see what the other and more clever people 
think about it! :)

Greetings,

Tobias

[Nouveau] [PATCH] Accept 3d controllers and not only VGA controllers.

Sure, I can easily split it into two commits, but I would like to have
an OK on the actual code changes before splitting the patch.

Best regards,

Josef Larsson
