I'm not a fan of Coreboot having invented its own nonstandard hacks, but I guess it is pretty much unavoidable.
It's completely avoidable. The stub can copy this information to standard framebuffer info structure. The only missing thing is to apply patch by cjwatson or mjg59 (I'm not sure now who wrote it) for having an ID for linear framebuffer which implies no specific hardware (it can be any) or firmware (coreboot doesn't provide nay additional info or callback).
Please don't apply this patch it will break SeaBIOS booting with VGABIOS.
Thanks for the warning. Yes, this is the Right Thing.
