I still don't understand why this particular configuration didn't work...

The framebuffer starts at 0xd8000000 and has a size of 0x240000 bytes, so
a r8g8b8 pixel format with resolution 1024x768 should be correct. Since is
1024 * 768 * (24 / 8) = 2359296 = 0x240000.

In any case, it seems that there is something wrong on how the screen_info
is reported to sysfb since you mentioned that gfxpayload=1024x768x32 leads
to a format=r8g8b8 and mode=1024x768x24, instead of the format=xr8g8b8 and
mode=1024x768x32 that is expected.

Could you please apply the following diff that will print all the relevant
fields from the screen_info that are used to calculate the bpp and stride.

My guess is that the rsvd_size and rsvd_pos are not correct and that's why
the bpp is set to 24 instead of 32.
