You should also have various lines in dmesg about:

so something is going wrong and keeping you from probing.  There's at
least one problem in your config -- you can't have

CONFIG_FB_BCM2708=y

since you're trying to run a proper graphics driver, instead.  I don't
think that would keep vc4 from probing, though.  Maybe you wouldn't have
hit any of those "bound" messages because HDMI fails first due to your
config being missing:

CONFIG_I2C_BCM2835=y

I've added that to the wiki page.
