I'm not sure about this... The word "virtual" never works well with
device tree nodes defined as "hardware description".

I understand what you're doing, but adding this property to the display
controller's node doesn't sound right. How does this describe hardware?
If anywhere, it's more like a job for the panel node?

I see what you are saying Pawel, I can follow Russell's recommendation of
adding a RAM size node called max-memory-available or something similar

We've already got a binding for reserved memory regions for this
purpose. And there is also simplefb binding.
