Commit Message

Resolve symbolic links before the PCI device check in fbdev_open.
Otherwise, opening device files that are symbolic links will fail.

Testing Done

I successfully built and tested it on my Raspberry Pi where I have a path that is a symbolic link for the fbdev key in my configuration.
