Hello

On next-20210701, my screen is stuck (see attached photo).
I bisect the problem to:

reverting ff323d6d72e1e4971c8ba9e2f3cf8afc48f22383 lead to a correct boot (I got a viewable login prompt).

So ff323d6d72e1 cause this config change when compiling my defconfig:

Adding CONFIG_FB to my defconfig fix also my boot.

But I still dont understand why the absence of CONFIG_FB led my screen stuck like this.
