[U-Boot] [PATCH 47/48] x86: Gracefully disable the vesa driver when running from EFI

We cannot use this driver when running from EFI as we have no direct hardware
access. Coreboot uses a different driver which uses tables provided by
Coreboot. So far it does not seem possible to use a normal video driver when
booting from EFI.
