This definitely doesn't belong in either of those, since it is not arch-
or firmware-specific. It is implementing support for the standard
simple-framebuffer OF binding, which specifies that it must be located
within the /chosen node (and thus the default OF setup code won't do the
matching for you); this applies to all OF platforms [1]

Adding Rob; do you think this should move from simplefb/simpledrm to
common OF code? (where?)
