I've meanwhile dropped fwfb helpers. Color management requires specific 
code here, so there's no much to share anyway.

In simpledrm, I've meanwhile removed them. I'll do so here as well.

No idea. The device is being created in drivers/of/platform.c. If offb 
didn't need these bindings, ofdrm probably won't need them either.
