(I updated the branch meantime, so what I meant was spring-bridge.v6~2)

Let me clarify: U-Boot uses the display [*], so it is powered and I see
penguins initially. Then, when drm gets initialized, the screen goes
black and no longer prints kernel messages or systemd output or X11 gdm
login screen.

Since drm stuff is the only variance here and it works with simplefb,
surely something prints to some buffer!
