I have tested simpledrm on a Raspberry Pi B+ with U-boot setting up the
framebuffer and producing this node:

         framebuffer@1e887000 {
                 compatible = "simple-framebuffer";
                 reg = <0x1e887000 0x36c600>;
                 format = "r5g6b5";
                 width = <1824>;
                 height = <984>;
                 stride = <3648>;
                 status = "okay";
         };

I have only tested with fbcon and modetest (XR24,RG16).
Please do not make the same mistake as simplefb in making this purely a
rpifb. Know that you will need some power and clock management for
properly free devices that do not depend on a binary only RTOS which
does _everything_ behind our backs.

I didn't read the binding document[1], which I should have done.
If simpledrm claims to be compatible with simple-framebuffer I assume it
should support the entire binding doc which includes clocks, regulators
and having the node under /chosen.
I will lift the necessary code from simplefb.c and put it in the next
version.

The binding doc also mentions an optional display phandle property, but I
can't find any reference to this in simplefb.c.
