The solution we use for the ZII RDU1 and RDU2 boards is to have the
bootloader patch in the correct panel compatible strings. This is quite
a bit simpler than using overlays and if you already have a environment
variable for this it should be easy to do.

This isn't needed. The panel compatible implies the data mapping and
bus width (at least if you properly filled in this information in the
panel driver).
