The question is, will this work for sparc?

It can't be just by type, we need to be able to able to select
individual instances of the same kind of device.  I can't tell if
you're saying your scheme handles this or not :-)))

I can have two ffb cards in my machine and I can tell fbcon precisely
which of those ffb instances is the primary one.  That's what I'd need
to work.

As long as each instance is defined by distinct struct fb_info's, it
should work.

Excellent.

The only missing piece for sparc is how do I get from an fb_info to
the firmware node for that device.  What we can do is add a "struct
device_node *" or similar to fb_info.  powerpc and all future
openfirmware platforms will be able to make use of this as well.
