Right, seems to work. Also visually looks okay.

fairphone-fp4:~$ dmesg | grep "frame buffer device"
[    0.250511] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 135x146
[    0.284146] simple-framebuffer a0000000.framebuffer: [drm] fb0: simpledrmdrmfb frame buffer device
[    2.576712] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 135x146
[    2.604907] msm_dpu ae01000.display-controller: [drm] fb0: msmdrmfb frame buffer device

I thought before that having two outputs like this would cause two
different framebuffers/display devices to appear, but yeah as I said
seems okay. Will change in v2.
