I'm one step closer as I now have fbcon working, I had forgotten to add
enable_tvout=1 and I had disable_fw_kms_setup=1 which disables the
video= mode on the kernel commandline.

modetest still fails though, after alot of printk sprinkling, I've
tracked it down to the drm_mode_equal test in
drm_atomic_helper_connector_tv_check(). The aspect ratios differ:

[   61.336295] drm_atomic_helper_connector_tv_check:
mode->picture_aspect_ratio=1
[   61.336301] drm_atomic_helper_connector_tv_check:
&crtc_state->mode->picture_aspect_ratio=0
