The radeonfb driver itself has not changed, but:
* [powerpc/powerpc{,-smp}] video/fb: Change FB_RADEON back to module
(Closes: #748398) (thanks to John Paul Adrian Glaubitz for thoroughly
testing this change)
You might need to do something to ensure that the radeonfb driver is
actually loaded, as only radeon is automatically loaded.
Is the bug regarding KMS on this system recorded on the upstream bug
tracker (https://bugs.freedesktop.org)?
