Hi Michal!

Just tested your 'of: Make of framebuffer devices unique' + 'v2 of: Fix of platform build on powerpc due to bad of disaply code' on my G4 and can confirm they fix the original issue (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216095). Thanks!

Also ofdrm gets loaded now without error messages:
 # modprobe -v ofdrm
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/core/cfbcopyarea.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/core/sysimgblt.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/core/sysfillrect.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/core/cfbimgblt.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/core/syscopyarea.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/video/fbdev/core/cfbfillrect.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_shmem_helper.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/6.2.0-rc4-PMacG4+/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/ofdrm.ko 

However I get no monitor output yet, despite ofdrm is loaded:
 # lsmod | grep -i drm
ofdrm                   9736  0
drm_shmem_helper        5704  1 ofdrm
drm_kms_helper        101736  1 ofdrm
cfbfillrect             2896  1 drm_kms_helper
syscopyarea             2400  1 drm_kms_helper
cfbimgblt               2256  1 drm_kms_helper
sysfillrect             2920  1 drm_kms_helper
sysimgblt               2296  1 drm_kms_helper
cfbcopyarea             2376  1 drm_kms_helper
drm                   288960  3 drm_shmem_helper,ofdrm,drm_kms_helper
drm_panel_orientation_quirks       16  1 drm

I use DRM [=m], DRM_OFDRM [=m], DRM_RADEON [=n], DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION [=y], FB [=y] and FB_OF [=n] in my kernel test .config. As far as I understand  DRM_OFDRM and FB_OF would be mutually exclusive? Also does not seem to make a difference whether FB_SIMPLE [=y] is set.
