The bootloader configures the display hardware for a framebuffer at the
given address, let's add a simple-framebuffer node here until we get a
proper DRM driver.
This has several benefits since it's an OLED display:
* energy consumption goes down significantly, as it changes from white
(as left by bootloader) to black (linux console), and we generally
don't run out of battery anymore when plugged into a USB port
* less of a burn-in effect I assume
* phone stays cooler due to reduced energy consumption by display

This is marked as v2, because it has been split out from my original
series in [1] to make it independent, for two reasons:
* drop the dependency on other patches touching the same file
* no need to mingle this one with adding Pixel 6 Pro support
Other than that, there are no changes and I kept the existing trailers.
For those who want to try this out:
The stock bootloader disables the decon hardware trigger before jumping
to Linux, preventing framebuffer updates from reaching the display. We
have added a work-around in our Yocto BSP layer for the time being
(until a proper display exists upstream). An alternative might be to
port and use uniLoader from https://github.com/ivoszbg/uniLoader, as
seems to be done for some other Exynos platforms.
