One of the reasons for having the simplefb nodes in /chosen, and doing
explicit enumeration of the nodes there, is too allow enumerating them sooner,
so that we get a console earlier on.

Doing this earlier then fs_initcall is not useful, since the fb only turns into
a console when fbcon intializes, which is a fs_initcall too.
The above text is slightly confusing, as fbcon initializes at
module_init time. You only change it in the next patch. I can move the
fbcon change to be the first patch when applying, if there are no more
versions sent.
