Ah, I'm afraid my lack of kernel knowledge is showing there: I didn't realize the was a simplefb in the kernel! I should've thought given the kernel starts off looking fine, and only shortly after starting de-syncs the framebuffer (presumably the point where bcm2708_fb takes over).

Confirmed last night that the u-boot simplefb is largely doing the right thing, although I did run across some bugs/bad assumptions in the framebuffer mailbox handling, but nothing that should affect anything here (it doesn't check the actual result of setting depth / alpha-mode / pixel-order; I'll put together a patch for that later).
