atyfb: Fix bootup hangs on sparc64.
After commit 25edd6946a1d74e5e77813c2324a0908c68bcf9e ("sparc64: Get
rid of indirect p1275 PROM call buffer.") we can't pass virtual
addresses >4GB to PROM calls.
Largely this is never necessary in drivers because we have a copy of
the entire PROM device tree in the kernel and a set of of_*()
interfaces to access it.
Unfortunately there were some lingering prom calls in the atyfb
driver, in particular prom_finddevice() was being called with an
on-stack address which could be anywhere.
This code is actually probing for information we already have, the
PROM choosen console output device is stored in of_console_device so
all of this nasty code consolidates into a one-line comparison.
Next we have some prom_getintdefault() calls which are trivially
transformed into the equivalent of_getintprop_default().
Special thanks to Fabio, who figured out exactly where the bootup
was hanging. That made this bug trivial to fix.
