The simpledrm.c does not call aperture_remove_conflicting_devices() in it's
probe
function as the drivers/video/aperture.c documentation says it should.
Consequently
it's request for the FB memory fails.
...
[ 3.085302] simple-framebuffer bd58dc000.framebuffer: [drm] *ERROR* could
not acquire memory range [??? 0xffff6e1d8629d580-0x2a5000001a7 flags 0x0]: -16
[ 3.086433] simple-framebuffer: probe of bd58dc000.framebuffer failed with
error -16
...
In my case no driver provided /dev/dri/card0 device is available on boot up
and X
fails to start as per this from X start up log.
...
[ 5.616] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting
[ 5.616] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
...
Fault confirmed and fixed on Asahi 6.5.0 kernel with both CONFIG_FB_EFI and
CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM config options set.
