I suspect the above failure is down to either (a) not having enough
memory available to allocate a 1920x1080 frame buffer, or (b) not
(yet) being able to program the hdlcd pixel clock for this platform,
which is currently hard-coded in DT at 23.75MHz.

Given it is NOMMU it is likely (a). Usually, tweaking FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
helped me in such cases.

Ok, with CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=12 I see

To make fb-test [1] happy I had to apply following diff:

(The only user of FB_PROVIDE_GET_FB_UNMAPPED_AREA is NOMMU only drivers/gpu/drm/stm/)

However, I do not see anything on the screen. I'm probably missing something
obvious, so if you have an idea, please let me know and I can test the patch.
