I didn't read the binding document[1], which I should have done.
If simpledrm claims to be compatible with simple-framebuffer I assume it
should support the entire binding doc which includes clocks, regulators
and having the node under /chosen.
I will lift the necessary code from simplefb.c and put it in the next
version.

The binding doc also mentions an optional display phandle property, but I
can't find any reference to this in simplefb.c.
