This still needs to be explained more, from my last mail:

"The last put_fb_info() on fb_info should call ->fb_destroy
(offb_destroy in our case) and remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
is calling put_fb_info() so there is some extra reference on
fb_info somewhere preventing it from going away.

Please look into fixing this."

It seems that there may still be configurations when this is
incorrect -> when offb drives primary (non-radeon) card and radeonfb
drives secondary (radeon) card..
