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.
