 Looks like a genfb issue;
 
 If the bus glue provides an ioctl callback (as is the case with 
 genfb_pci), the generic WSDISPLAYIO_SMODE path is never called, from 
 genfb.c:genfb_ioctl():
 
      /* notify the bus backend */
      if (sc->sc_ops.genfb_ioctl)
        return sc->sc_ops.genfb_ioctl(sc, vs,
            cmd, data, flag, l);
 
 Cheers,
