Yeah that should just work now.

I just tried it here with v3.13-rc4 in legacy mode using omap2plus_defconfig
with the following test script and seems to work just fine for producing a
nice random color pattern on the LCD:
#!/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /
depmod -a
modprobe panel-generic-dpi
modprobe panel-dpi
modprobe omapfb vram=0:2M,1:5M
if [ -c /dev/fb0 ]; then
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/fb0;
fi
Note that as the panel name has changed recently so my script tries to
load both panel modules.
Maybe you're missing something from your .config file still?
BTW, I'm seeing MMC errors with my LDP here though, does that work
for you?
Regards,
Tony
