Revert "firmware/sysfb: Clear screen_info state after consuming it"
This reverts commit df67699c9cb0ceb70f6cc60630ca938c06773eda. Jens Axboe reported a regression that his machine is failing to show a console, or in fact anything, on current -git. There's no output and no console after: Loading Linux 6.7.0+ ... Loading initial ramdisk ...
