It's indeed a kernel issue. All these SPI displays use a staging driver
subsystem called "fbtft" which adds support for small TFT LCD displays. We do
support it, but there seems to be an issue during the probe:

[   28.902379] fb_ili9341 spi0.0: Failed to request reset-gpios GPIO:-2
[   28.902636] fb_ili9341: probe of spi0.0 failed with error -2

I'll look into it.
