Commit bb5930d5c97f ("exynos: video: Convert several boards to driver model for video") converted the Exynos Chromebooks machines to use DM for video, but this breaks backward compatibility with the stdout env var since now stdout is expected to be "vidconsole" instead of "lcd".
This causes display to not work when updating u-boot on these boards if the old stdout env var is used. Since these are consumer devices, there's no easy way to have a serial console so users may be confused thinking that u-boot failed to boot, or in the best case will need to update the stdout env var blindly to make the display to work again.
There's a CONFIG_VIDCONSOLE_AS_LCD config option to workaround this, so enable it in the Chromebooks' default configuration files to allow users to change their stdout env var before the workaround is removed.
