Ah, I didn't read precisely: "black screen". I get this as well if I eliminate
most Letux patch sets.

This means that one or two hacks are not yet upstream...

Looks so...

My main symptom is that I get a /dev/fb0, X server process is running, backlight
is on, but the screen is completely white. And xset dpms force on/off can
turn backlight on&off. But still only white pixels.

I guess the problem is either the SPI interface to the panel or the pixel
clock/pixel data.

I am currently running a bisect to find out more.
