Well I've been testing on the RPi4 (as I mentioned above), there's no
direct error message that's directly linked but the screen goes blank
and turns off, even on a text only install, and yes, on the rpi4 the
vc4 kernel module deals with driving the HDMI and other output
interfaces (whereas the v3d is the driver for the render unit), and on
rpi3 and older vc4 also runs the 3D render module too.
