Note that the same DT bindings you add here should also work for the DRM
driver in the future. So, in fact, the question is extended to: will the
fbdev 
No, I don't think so. It's a end of line for it, I believe. From my
personal point of view the main goal is to fill the last gap between DT
and non-DT support on one of the Versatile Express boards - CLCD works
fine when booted with ATAGs, doesn't work when booted with DT. It looks
bad.
The DT describes the hardware, and there should be only one description
of it, no matter what the used SW is. I see compatible = "arm,pl111" in
the dts. PL111 is the LCD controller, right? What will the DRM driver
use, then, if the "arm,pl111" DT data is designed to work only for the
fbdev?
