The platform devices registered by sysfb match with firmware-based DRM or
fbdev drivers, that are used to have early graphics using a framebuffer
provided by the system firmware.

Hi, Javier.

This change broke arm64 with vmwgfx. We get a kernel oops at boot (let me know if
you'd like .config or just have us test something directly for you):
Yes please share your .config and I'll try to reproduce on an arm64 machine.
Attached. It might be a little hard to reproduce unless you have an arm64 machine
with a dedicated gpu. You'll need a system that actually transitions from a generic
fb driver (e.g. efifb) to the dedicated one.

I'm confused, your kernel version seems to be 5.18.0-rc5 but this patch
is only in drm-misc-next now and will land in 5.20...

Did you backport it? Can you please try to reproduce with latest drm-tip ?
No, this is drm-misc-next as of yesterday. drm-misc-next was still on 5.18.0-rc5
yesterday.
