[PATCH 0/2] of: Register platform device for each framebuffer

Move the detection of OF framebuffers from fbdev into of platform code
and register a Linux platform device for each framebuffer. Allows for
DRM-based OF drivers and real hot-unplugging of the framebuffer.

This patchset has been tested with qemu's ppc64le emulation, which
provides a framebuffer via OF display node. If someone has an older
32-bit system with BootX available, please test.
