For the sunxi video output support to work we need to enable simplefb,
are we currently enabling any fbdev (so non kms) drivers on arm?

If so I think we should add simplefb, if not I guess we may want to wait
for simpledrm which is a kms driver using the same firmware interface
to get the framebuffer from u-boot.
