Thanks for the patch, but this is too late. We can consider that for
unstable, and later on via a point release.
I know for a fact we have fbdev in ppc64el builds, as we've suffered a
regression there (#1033058, for which someone still needs to find a real
fix on the kernel side, hint hint wink wink); isn't that generic driver
sufficient to get some basic output?
Also, I don't understand what's going on with the build/Makefile part:
1. This is a temporary workaround for 3 architectures that run into
issues under UEFI/SB, which isn't quite relevant for ppc64el. (The
idea was to avoid having to re-upload linux and linux-signed-* for
just a few additions to the fb-modules udeb.)
2. If you look at the following commit, I suppose you'll get the very
same impression as I have: this merge request is very likely to
trigger a direct FTBFS on ppc64el.
