Connected to the raspberry pi on my Robot I have a small 3.2" display
[1] (or a clone / older version) it connects via SPI on the raspberry
pi's GPIO header. In the past i've had it working with the overlay at
[2] and the fbtft driver.

This kinda setup is pretty common in the embedded / hobbyist world, I
don't use a desktop or anything just simple status apps using the
framebuffer directly on the other hand it wouldn't be the end of the
world if I moved to Qt.

Today I finally got a chance to update and as of now I no longer have an
/dev/fb1 (/dev/fb0 is hdmi) is that expected with my current setup? I
had other issues with the update and had to grab a fresh image and re
add my overlay and raspbery pi config so there is also a chance I missed
something setting it up again. I've put some dmesg output from the older
system the new system shows nothing and below that is an fbi command I
use for testing.
