TTY breaks with nvidia_drm.fbdev=0

Hello!

Just wanted to report a problem with fastfetch+fbdev=1:
Like the issue described here (look at video): [BUG] fastfetch breaks tty when reading the "Display" variable · Issue #1018 · fastfetch-cli/fastfetch · GitHub
TTY breaks if fastfetch queries GPU-/monitor -related info and following kernel parameters are set:
nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1

Temporary fix: switch back to graphical (ctrl+alt+f2) and back to tty.

OS: Manjaro Stable
Driver Version: 550.90.07-5
GPU: 4070

I can still reproduce this issue with the 560 drivers. Moreover, some users have reported that they do not get any TTY output at all, even without running anything in the first place. This is a bug related to fbdev being enabled.
