Debian has just released linux-image-5.10.0-7-arm64 A.K.A. 5.10.38-1, and it boots on PBP with built-in screen working perfectly fine, out of the box, no need to patch device tree or anything else. Most other things seem to work fine too so far - WiFi, sound, OpenGL acceleration... Haven't tested Bluetooth or deep sleep yet though.
I have Buster installed. I just cloned my micro SD card, then booted the clone, enabled buster-backports, and installed linux-image-arm64 (5.10.24-1~bpo10+1), and it boots to a black screen. The only non-standard hardware I have in my Pinebook Pro is that I have an NVMe installed, and I removed the eMMC module.
Before 5.10.38-1 got packaged in linux-image-5.10.0-7-arm64, the most recent kernel in Debian was 5.10.28-1 packaged as linux-image-5.10.0-6-arm64, and as my post would imply, that would still boot to black screen. Since 5.10.24-1~bpo10+1 is behind even the known-not-working 5.10.28-1 I'd be more surprised if it worked.
I definitely should have read your post more carefully. I appreciate the clarification. I look forward to trying it out in the near future.
