Starting with kernel 6.7, the framebuffer text console is not working anymore with the virtio-gpu device on s390x hosts. Such big endian fb devices are usinga different pixel ordering than little endian devices, e.g. DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888 instead of DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888.This used to work fine as long as drm_client_buffer_addfb() was still calling drm_mode_addfb() which called drm_driver_legacy_fb_format() internally to get the right format. But drm_client_buffer_addfb() has recently been reworked to call drm_mode_addfb2() instead with the format value that has been passed to it as a parameter (see commit 6ae2ff23aa43 ("drm/client: Convert drm_client_buffer_addfb() to drm_mode_addfb2()"). That format parameter is determined in drm_fbdev_generic_helper_fb_probe() via the drm_mode_legacy_fb_format() function - which only generates formats suitable for little endian devices. So to fix this issue switch to drm_driver_legacy_fb_format() here instead to take the device endianness into consideration.

This file is now called drm_fbdev_ttm.c in drm-misc-next. And a similar patch might be necessary for drm_fbdev_dma.c. The code in drm_fbdev_shmem.c apparently has it already.
Best regards Thomas
