lcd: add functions to set up simplefb device tree
simple-framebuffer is a new device tree binding that describes a pre- configured frame-buffer memory region and its format. The Linux kernel contains a driver that supports this binding. Implement functions to create a DT node (or fill in an existing node) with parameters that describe the framebuffer format that U-Boot is using. This will be immediately used by the Raspberry Pi board in U-Boot, and likely will be used by the Samsung ARM ChromeBook support soon too. It could well be used by many other boards (e.g. Tegra boards with built-in LCD panels, which aren't yet supported by the Linux kernel).

+Simple Framebuffer
+
+A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered to,
+with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set up to scan
+out from that buffer.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "simple-framebuffer"
+- reg: Should contain the location and size of the framebuffer memory.
+- width: The width of the framebuffer in pixels.
+- height: The height of the framebuffer in pixels.
+- stride: The number of bytes in each line of the framebuffer.
+- format: The format of the framebuffer surface. Valid values are:
+ - r5g6b5 (16-bit pixels, d[15:11]=r, d[10:5]=g, d[4:0]=b).
+
+Example:
+
+ framebuffer {
+ compatible = "simple-framebuffer";
+ reg = <0x1d385000 (1600 * 1200 * 2)>;
+ width = <1600>;
+ height = <1200>;
+ stride = <(1600 * 2)>;
+ format = "r5g6b5";
+ };
