Don't need quotes.

I'm on the fence whether we need this. It doesn't really add anything
because 'simple-framebuffer' will reference this node and you can find
it that way. I guess a bootloader may not setup 'simple-framebuffer',
but then it should probably not have this node either.
On the flip side, better to have compatibles than not to identify nodes.

Use '/ {' to skip the boilerplate causing the error.
