This is too specific to the FSL kernel. For mainline kernel users, this is not needed and the strings would be different.
I would suggest you to patch this in Yocto instead.

Thanks for your comments. I was thinking about what's the best way to approach this need, and last time we discussed similar topic, I was asked about upstreaming my changes... so here I am doing it.
Fixing it in u-boot-fslc or as a ad-hoc patch will also work for me.
Still - isn't the mainline kernel user expected to be able to use the HDMI interface of the board?

Yes, and it works by default. No need to pass 'video=' arguments.

I was just able to test it on Debian 8 armhf, and I can confirm it works.
@Stefano: Please discard my patch.
Kind regards, Nikolay
