[PATCH v3] of: Make of framebuffer devices unique

Since Linux 5.19 this error is observed:

sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/of-display'

This is because multiple devices with the same name 'of-display' are
created on the same bus.

Update the code to create numbered device names for the non-boot
disaplay.
