yup.. figured this out.. I have a WIP patch to actually use the fdt
that the fw passes to u-boot (instead of appending the fdt to
u-boot).. haven't wired it up to setenv_hex() yet, but that should be
trivial.

fwiw, I have a WIP u-boot equiv to linux's simplefb display driver
that can inherit the scanout setup by fw (and some related patches)
plus lk patches to create a chosen/framebuffer simple-framebuffer
node.. need to clean up and send out some of my pending stack of
patches, but been buried in figuring out u-boot reloc stuff to figure
out how to not get the vaddr space associated w/ fw configured
framebuffer reloc'd.

BR,
