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.
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.
