Yes, you need to create a patch to add mxs framebuffer support in U-boot. You can look at the linux kernel as a reference (drivers/video/mxsfb.c) and port it into U-boot. There are other i.mx processors (mx31, mx51, mx53) that do support framebuffer in U-boot. You can look at drivers/video/mxc_ipuv3_fb.c in U-boot for a reference for mx51/mx53 implementation. The LCD controller on mxs is different so that is why you will need to create a new driver for it.
