-We will add a clocks property to the simplefb devicetree bindings, so
 that u-boot setup framebuffers passed to the kernel (for early console
 support) can properly list the clocks used, and simplefb can claim them to
 avoid them getting turned off, thereby breaking the early console

Perhaps this has been discussed earlier, but I started to wonder if
managing clocks is enough.

What about regulators (to power the LCD), gpios (to keep the LCD
enabled) and pinctrl (for video signals)? I guess any those could be
reset by the kernel if no driver uses them.

Hans, ping. Have these been already discussed?

Yes, and I already responded to your original mail on this on Oct. 31th,
for some reason my mail client drops you from the CC, when I do a reply-to-all
to one of your mails (I've added you manually this time).

My replies did go to simple-fb at vger.kernel.org .I'll forward my 2 mails on this
to you.

Regards,

Hans
