Thanks.

It still doesn't really make sense to me why that video=tegrafb should
be considered valid.

However, I don't see anything rotation related in the commit you
list. Are you sure it's really the offending one and not another one?

Also, do you have the option to recompile a kernel so that we can add
some debug?
