I'm not familiar with OF display but the driver looks good to me.

I just have a few questions below.

This seems to be exactly the same check than used in the simpledrm driver.
Maybe could be moved to the fwfb helper library too ?

Same comment than for simpledrm, are these no-op helpers really needed ?

I don't see a binding for this in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display.
Do we need one or it's that only required for FDT and not Open Firmware DT ?
