My gut feeling is that the attributes needed by simplefb belong in the
actual hardware node somehow, with a standard layout so it can be
applied on all compatible video devices.

The complication is that these attributes is volatile and not really
set/defined by hardware. Similar to UART baud rate (and kernel command
line if you like).
