There's actually a FIXME already in drm_fbdev_generic_setup(), so it's
a documented issue [0]:

void drm_fbdev_generic_setup(struct drm_device *dev,
			     unsigned int preferred_bpp)
{
...
	/*
	 * FIXME: This mixes up depth with bpp, which results in a glorious
	 * mess, resulting in some drivers picking wrong fbdev defaults and
	 * others wrong preferred_depth defaults.
	 */
	if (!preferred_bpp)
		preferred_bpp = dev->mode_config.preferred_depth;
	if (!preferred_bpp)
		preferred_bpp = 32;
	fb_helper->preferred_bpp = preferred_bpp;
...
}
