This reddit user got different results which rather support my stance:

Frankly, I think it's more important to have a working graphics driver
on ubiqutous Apple PowerPC hardware than on these extremely obscure
Pegasos-II boards which have very negligible user base given the fact
that those were rather expensive due to their low production numbers.
So my opinion remains unchanged: Drop radeonfb by any means as it's
obsolete and breaks the way more ubiqutous radeon KMS driver.
Cheers,
Adrian
