If we don't, then simplefb stays loaded on /dev/fb0 even though
scanout isn't happening from simplefb's memory area any more, and you
end up with no console.

Dave: It would be nice if I could merge this patch through
bcm2835-dt-next, where I'm trying to get the VC4 DT merged even though
the defconfig includes both VC4 and simplefb. There aren't any
conflicts with anything I'm merging through drm-next.
