If fb_get_options returns an error, drivers will not proceed with their initialization. The second method is more compatible with the previous setup semantics. I told Geert that if the changes did bite us, then I have no choice but to add support for the second method. So, if you think that the first method is not enough, then I will add the second method. Let me know.
I submited a patch moving offb to the bottom of the Makefile to at least restore normal drivers. For ofonly, a bit more hackish, but what about failing register_framebuffer for anything but offb ?
