I don't like that place - from 13 bugs I have reported there, 11 are still 
open :( I even provided a patch for one and nobody cares...

Bisect reveals two possible bad commits:
386516744ba45d50f42c6999151cc210cb4f96e4
drm/fb: fix fbdev object model + cleanup properly

or
8be48d924c307e72e3797ab5bde81b07a1ccc52d
drm/kms/fb: move to using fb helper crtc grouping instead of core crtc list

It depends on the last step of bisection - that kernel hangs but in a 
different way - the monitor has no signal (in every other case, the monitor 
was just blank).

Reverting these commits is not possible.
