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.
struct fb_info already has struct device *device field. Isn't that sufficient enough? Or if you must, just define a flag somewhere in struct fb_info or struct par which the fb_get_primary_device() can check.
