The code that sets up simplefb for sunxi is primarily for providing a console in u-boot (using the ancient cfbconsole infrastructure). From what i can tell, the u-boot code for rpi is about showing a splash screen (using the much newer lcd infrastructure). With u-boot showing a console, it really seemed only a small step to add simplefb. And quite a few people in our sunxi community are interested in it, primarily for u-boot and early console, and only secondarily as a stop-gap for a full driver.
