Just to learn something and curiosity,
What is the name of that driver?

aus9,

As a test.  Download the module in a initrd format    http://www.tinycorelinux.net/14.x/aarch64/test_releases/RPi/vc-sm-cma.gz
place this file on your boot partition   mmcblk0p1 by default

edit your config.txt file.  In the [Pi4] section of the config.  add the filename to the initramfs line, like this


--- Code: ---[PI4]
initramfs rootfs-piCore64-14.0.gz,modules-6.1.25-piCore-v8.gz,vc-sm-cma.gz followkernel
kernel kernel6125v8.img

--- End code ---

See if this solves the black screen.

and discovered it had graphics-KERNEL.tcz has a recursive dep.

OOPS I forgot to check Apps for libvl2 in piCore64-14.x it has

I am sure this will settle when we are closer to final release
