Fix Open Firmware framebuffer regression (Closes: #1033058) (!695) · Merge requests · Debian kernel team / linux

Cyril Brulebois requested to merge kibi/linux:ppc64el-offb into sid Apr 12, 2023

Since v6.1.12, of-display is replaced with of-display.N, which means fbdev/offb doesn't find its device node, and Debian Installer cannot start in graphical mode on ppc64el. Thanks to Frédéric Bonnard for the report.

Fix tested successfully by crossbuilding the kernel for ppc64el on amd64, then embedded in a Debian Installer build on platti.

I'll file the report upstream, and update references.
