Thanks Alex. I tested this fix and it works to some degree, but it
doesn't solve all the issues.
What works:
* No garbage on the screen.
* X falls back to the vesa driver.
What doesn't work:
* No console messages displayed.
* Trying to switch to a text console (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2) results in a
permanent black screen, I couldn't return to X after that.
So there must be some more integration work needed, probably not in the
radeon driver but rather in the drm_fb layer. But anyway, the situation
is definitely better with this patch than without, so it should be
applied and go to stable trees too:
