Ok. That can always be changed in the future if we ever find we need
them anyway.

I'll merge these four patches as soon as the bindings doc is
acked-by/merged by Grant or any other DT maintainer.

Note these patches are using framebuffer0 rather then framebuffer0-hdmi as node
name, which may cause issues if we later want to add lcd support. So I've a v2
coming which changes the name to framebuffer0-hdmi, please merge that instead.
