Ok, with CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=12 I see

[    5.242423] [drm] found ARM HDLCD version r0p0
[    5.493835] tda998x 2-0070: found TDA19988
[    5.527771] hdlcd 40205000.hdlcd: bound 2-0070 (ops 0x1470f8)
[    5.535819] [drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 2 (21.10.2013).
[    5.543478] [drm] No driver support for vblank timestamp query.
[    7.443189] hdlcd 40205000.hdlcd: fb0:  frame buffer device
[    7.501975] [drm] Initialized hdlcd 1.0.0 20151021 for 40205000.hdlcd on minor 0

when display is connected.

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.

Thanks

Do you have fbdev/fbcon enabled? If not, then you need some userspace that
makes use of the DRM interface. I usually play with the tests from
libdrm, you can start with modetest.
