That might warrant a separate patch?

I believe that using hard-coded node names is frowned upon. Better would
be to put a phandle into the display controller's node that points at
the node representing the display, e.g.:
fb at d800e400 {
compatible = "via,vt8500-fb";
reg = <0xd800e400 0x400>;
interrupts = <12>;
via,display = <&display>;
};
display: display {
...
};
