No, both need to be merged. The current version lacks support for
ABGR8888. The fbdev tree lacks the DRM format, which should be:
  { "a8b8g8r8", 32, {0, 8}, {8, 8}, {16, 8}, {24, 8}, DRM_FORMAT_ABGR8888 }

simplefb was in linux-next. I also acked the fixup from Stephen. See
this commit from a pre-3.12 -next tree:
  http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/include/linux/platform_data/simplefb.h?id=44ed8fb588e517a2ef917c6757ee11ee47348978

It was merged through -tip around 1 month ago. It does mainly change
the way x86 provides firmware-fb information to drivers so -tip seemed
fine to me.

On another note, could you have a look at:
  [PATCH] efifb: prevent null dereferences by removing unused array
indices from dmi_list
That somehow didn't make it in your fbdev-next pull.

Thanks
David
