CONFIG_FB_EFI and CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE are needed to display console text on EFI framebuffer. CONFIG_FB_EFI is needed when the kernel is directly launched via EFI shell or EFI startup.nsh script. CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is needed when launching the kernel via grub2 efi. In this case, grub2 has prepared a gfxterm framebuffer and the kernel just need to use the already prepared grub's gfxterm framebuffer to display console text. Signed-off-by: Alif M.
