Mainly to make the bdinfo command show the proper output. In general it seems like the right thing to do...being consistent should make porting code easier. I don't know the history, but it sort of feels like the other global is on the way to being deprecated.

I also did a somewhat un-needed move of the #ifdef for CONFIG_VFD closer to the devices_init(). From the looks of the code the drv_vfd_init() should be moved into devices_init() where other LCD/video pieces are initialized. Closer seemed the next best to being in the proper spot.

Why do you initialize bi_baudrate? Is there any place where this is used on ARM systems?
