Hello Brett,
This reverts commit 13d28e0c79cbf69fc6f145767af66905586c1249.
Commit ee7a69aa38d8 ("fbdev: Disable sysfb device registration when removing conflicting FBs") was backported to 5.15.y LTS. This causes a regression where all virtual consoles stop responding during boot at:
"Populating /dev with existing devices through uevents ..."
Reverting the commit fixes the regression.

In the other email you said:
Newer stable kernels with this patch (6.1.y, 6.6.y, 6.12,y, 6.15.y, 6.16.y) and mainline are unaffected.
But are you proposing to revert the mentioned commit in mainline too or just in the 5.15.y LTS tree ?
Only the 5.15.y tree. Sorry - that could have been clearer. There's no regression anywhere else. Mainline and other stable kernels are all ok.
Thanks for investigating this! I'll queue it up for 5.15.
