The problem with 24bpp is that it is a rather unusual depth these days,
Nit: s/depth/bpp/ here. Depth 24 is very common, it's packing that into three bytes per pixel that's unusual.
cirrus is pretty much the only relevant device still using that, and it is a endless source of issues. Wayland doesn't support it at all. Bugs in Xorg keep showing up.
Typically either 32bpp or 16bpp are used. Using 32bpp would limit the resolution to 800x600 due to hardware constrains. So lets go with 16bpp.
Also use the default depth for the framebuffer console and mode_info->preferred_depth.
