Bug description:
  [Impact]

  To attach TFT touchscreens the pi-foundation kernel ships the fbtft
  devicetree overlay along with rpi-display.

  While you can attach a stand-alone TFT display just fine when only
  using rpi-display to provide the drivers with hardcoded GPIO
  assignments, it gets extremely tricky to even enable the touchscreen
  input or to use such a TFT with other sensors attached since rpi-
  display does not allow any re-assignment of the GPIO pins in use.

  The upstream fbtft driver can make use of the already included rpi-display 
drivers by defining "rpi-display" in its params. It also allows to freely 
re-assign the GPIO pins for backlight, D/C and Reset to give you enough 
flexibility to have the display co-exist with any attached sensors and  touch 
input devices that do not have the ability to re-assign GPIO pins and that 
clash with the hardcoded numbering of rpi-display.
  An example with freely assigned GPIOs can be seen in the upstream 
(rpi-foundation) overlay README file at:

  https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/overlays/README#L884

  Please include fbtft in the ubuntu kernels to allow a more flexible
  usage of SPI based TFT touchscreens on the Pi.

  [Test case]

  See above.

  [Fix]

  Backport commit 6a4525924c43 ("overlays: Add fbtft overlay") from
  rpi-5.15.y.

  [Where Problems could occur]

  Problems might show up when using the new DTB overlay on a Pi
  platform.
