Thanks!

I'll follow up with a patch setting this to zero, but I'm not convinced
I understand mode_config.prefered_depth well enough to be confident
setting it to 24 is the right thing to do.

Looking at commits 23d4e55f7eeb ("drm/vkms: Unset preferred_depth") and
550f17441f53 ("drm/cirrus: flip default from 24bpp to 16bpp") it seems
that this will have a wider impact beyond fbdev.  32bpp has been used
since the Rockchip driver was added so I don't see any real need to
change to 24 now.

John
