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.
