Official openSUSE: U-Boot, dtb and graphics
#2
After many days spent investigating, I found a solution I didn't expect: Tow-Boot

In the end it was related to my U-Boot version (upstream at the time of my original post), that somehow wasn't able to give graphics after GRUB. I thought that once I was in GRUB, U-Boot no longer had any effect, I was wrong. Simply flashing Tow-Boot to the SPI made everything work as expected. Of course now other installers I've tried also have working graphics, like Fedora's.

Now my openSUSE lets me log into my GNOME session and works as expected. Just don't forget to install bcm43xx-firmware in order to get bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

For now I have no battery indicator nor sound, but this is something that has to be patched in other distros too, so I need to investigate more. At least now I can do it right from the PBP.
