There is an example how boards can enforce using video device
when booting, e.g. for displaying splash image. Please see commit
f0be8ff45fb8 (ARM: imx: m53menlo: Convert to DM VIDEO).

I'm not happy that it requires to extend the board code for this
and would prefer if it could be in common code. But this is what
we have now.
