So what is the conclusion on this patch?  I can re-send with a commit
msg (although there is not much to say beyond $subject)..  I kinda
think we should merge this for now, unless dropping CONFIG_LCD is
imminent in which case I can re-work it to drop the CONFIG_LCD and add
CONFIG_DM_VIDEO.. EFI_LOADER should definitely support the non-legacy
case and probably should not remove the legacy case until it does not
exist anymore.

btw, I had a bit of time today to rebase my u-boot patches and start
cleaning up some of the other patches I have for (re)posting.. so
expect some more patches soon(ish)
