Yesterday I had the idea to modify the problematic patch [1] so that it applies
on ppc64el only but not on powerpc and ppc64. This should at least fix the

So, I've been reading about this patch, trying to find out the purpose
of changing the property name. I'm wondering why fbdev offb code is
failing to find the display, as all changes look they are within offb.
So, IIUC, the kernel fbdev module is expecting "|of-display.0"| from
modern OF compatible firmware but Apple OF is providing
|"||of-display"|. Am I on track or off?
