There's actually a FIXME already in drm_fbdev_generic_setup(), so it's
a documented issue [0]:

void drm_fbdev_generic_setup(struct drm_device *dev,
unsigned int preferred_bpp)
{
...
/*
* FIXME: This mixes up depth with bpp, which results in a glorious
* mess, resulting in some drivers picking wrong fbdev defaults and
* others wrong preferred_depth defaults.
*/
if (!preferred_bpp)
preferred_bpp = dev->mode_config.preferred_depth;
if (!preferred_bpp)
preferred_bpp = 32;
fb_helper->preferred_bpp = preferred_bpp;
...
}
