Are you sure it doesn't probe? It fails the omapdss_stack_is_ready()
check? If that's the case then this is easier to debug.

This is probably "fixed" by adding the display aliases into the n900 dts
file. The aliases should not really be required, although they are
recommended. Without the aliases the order of the displays is random,
and n900 could end up using tv-out as the first display. But even then,
the displays should still work.
