Goldfish FB is actively used by all supported architectures in Android (Intel/ARM/MIPS) and is part of Android emulator project and so far, there have been no limitations in AOSP for using it. We have already tested this particular version of the driver for MIPS Ranchu virtual platform (introduced in this series) which is DT based and therefore we needed to integrate device tree support for this driver. > bindings/display/ Did you mean to use this location instead of "bindings/goldfish/"?

There's no upstream qemu support for goldfish-fb. Maybe this is a minor driver change, but FB drivers are being replaced with DRM drivers. And the time for AOSP supporting framebuffer drivers is limited I think with HWC2 and explicit fence support in DRM.
