Out of curiosity, how does this work in practice? How does the bootloader create this entry? Does it scan the DT to see which clocks the real hardware device references and then simply copies them to the simplefb node?

That looks like a royal pain. Again, I think it'd be much simpler (but not less code, unfortunately) to do this on a per-resource basis. That way these low-level firmware drivers in the kernel can stay trivial, keeping the real complexity where they belong: in hardware-specific drivers such as DRM/KMS.
