[PATCH] fb: reject enable request when framebuffer has no mode

[PATCH] fb: reject enable request when framebuffer has no mode

[Lucas Stach]

If no display is connected or the display modes are incompatible with
the scanout hardware we might end up with a registered framebuffer with
no modes. Trying to enable such a framebuffer will blow up with NULL
ptr dereferences in various places, so just don't do it.
