Cannot switch between Wayland an other VTs on Kernel >= 4.10

Hello!

I upgraded my (self compiled) kernel to 3.10.1 and noticed, that I can't used FBDEV based terminals anymore, when I use Wayland through GDM. The screen freezes as it was during hitting Ctrl+Alt+Function-Key, so it still shows my frozen GNOME-Shell. If I login into a X11 based session through GDM, everything works as expected. I didn't see any message with dmesg or journalctl -rb, but systemd seems to try to load getty:

Feb 28 22:46:34 cupcake systemd[1]: Started Getty on tty4.
Feb 28 22:46:17 cupcake systemd[1]: Started Getty on tty2.

FBDEV-Support is, of course, compiled into the kernel and kernel < 4.10 works well with Wayland and allows me to switch to one of the FBDEV-Terminals.

Anyone other, with the same problem?
Thanks

PS: ThinkPad X220, therefore a Intel SandyBridge HD3000 GPU.
PPS: Reported issue upstream.
