where exactly did you add the overlays in the first paragraph ? only overlays in /boot/uboot/overlays are read by the proprietary bootloader (you need to create the dir)

I tried adding dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d and adding a corresponding .../overlays/vc4-kms-v3d.dtbo file but it seems the Rpi bootloader does not apply the overlay at all. I merged vc4-kms-v3d.dtbo into bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb using a dtmerge utility compiled by pulling pieces from (https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland and https://github.com/dgibson/dtc) The result is here: https://github.com/albaguirre/dtmerge With this new device tree binary blob, The VC4 driver (as a module) loads (and you can see /dev/dri/ entries) I also played around with the tip of u-boot tree (git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git) which has support to apply device tree overlays - it applied fine and VC4 is at least recognized but the driver cannot initialize properly. Any idea on what magic incantation is needed for the RPi loaders (start.elf etc) to apply the vc4 overlay?
