This goes contrary to how devicetree usually works, so drop it. Instead if
the firmware needs to be able to find a specific node it should use a
platform specific compatible + properties for this.

added, the simplefb nodes will already contain this info and the firmware
does not need to be updated.

If pre-filled framebuffer nodes are used, they should be named
"framebuffer#-<output>", e.g. "framebuffer0-hdmi". The output should be
included in the name since different outputs typically require different
clocks and the clocks are part of the pre-populated nodes. The firmware must
rename the nodes to the standard "framebuffer@<address>" name using the
runtime chosen address when enabling the nodes.
If pre-filled framebuffer nodes are used, the firmware may need extra
information to find the right node. In that case an extra platform specific
compatible and platform specific properties should be used and documented,
see e.g. simple-framebuffer-sunxi.txt .

Required properties:
- compatible: "simple-framebuffer"
