AFAIK on the A64 a special sram quirk is necessary, that never got merged:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1574303.html

I asked Icenowy if I should resubmit her patch as part of this series,
but was told further discussion is necessary. I'm sure she can better
explain the details than me.

Actually if it wasn't for the sram quirk, there is a simplefb patch by
her, that could have been merged long ago:
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg1574304.html

Hope that explains,
Harald
