I don't know why you're using the rpi-linear branch when the rpi-split
branch has the same content but everything already split into separate

It has supported graphics for a while:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/wiki/How-to-boot-using-device-tree#wiki-Configuration
I've been waiting over 3 months now for device tree support to be added
to the GPU-based bootloader and it still hasn't appeared.
