Patch attached. This patch change the output from black screen to a
buggy image that actually gets updated if I move the mouse, which means
that it doesn't fix the issue. Tested on next-20160812.

Not enabling the frame buffer emulation(Kconfig or commenting out the
call to drm_fbdev_cma_init()) solves the issue.
