I'm confused. simple-framebuffer is a mechanism for which the entire
point is that the kernel doesn't need the driver for.

Why do you need to have patches for bridges and panels for
simple-framebuffer? They won't be used.

So it's not about simple-framebuffer at all, but rather that you don't
want to re-initialize the hardware that has already been setup?

If so, this isn't how you should do it, but rather:
