Would this prevent the macfb framebuffer console from working in the
absence of kernel modules?

When something goes wrong, and the kernel messages aren't available to
tell you what went wrong, then you may lack the information you need to

I see.

Hence I was trying to find an explanation for the screen shot posted,
which says "console [tty0] enabled" even though the macfb console did not
appear.

No, without fb/console support you wouldn't even see those.

OK.

Indeed. Mac needs the CONFIG_FB_CFB_* counterparts.

CONFIG_FB_SYS_* is for system RAM, while CONFIG_FB_CFB_*
is for iomem. Not that it would matter much on m68k, m68k has no
strict separation between both.

OK. So there needs to be no further change then those already
submitted to the Debian Linux maintainers in #728392 correct?
