First, make sure you have this in your .config:
CONFIG_RUST=y
CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=y
CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y
CONFIG_DRM_PANIC=y
CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_FOREGROUND_COLOR=0xffffff
CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_BACKGROUND_COLOR=0x000000
CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_SCREEN="qr_code"
CONFIG_DRM_PANIC_SCREEN_QR_CODE=y

drm_panic is only supported by a few drivers. The easiest way to test, 
is to use the simpledrm driver, that should work on all EFI or BIOS 
based system.
To check the drm driver in use, run:
sudo udevadm info -a -n /dev/dri/card0 | grep DRIVER

If it's not simpledrm, you should blacklist it, and make sure you boot 
with simpledrm.

and then you can run:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/drm_panic_plane_0

On a side note, looking at the hyperv drm driver, it should be easy to 
add drm_panic support for it. I will look into that when I get some time.

Best regards,
