Yes, please do. Either with CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB disabled and CONFIG_FB_EFI
enabled (so that "efi-framebuffer" is registered and efifb probed) or with
CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB but CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE enabled (so "simple-framebuffer
is used too but with simplefb instead of simpledrm).
 
I'm not able to reproduce, it would be useful to have another data point.
