Hi Eugen.

Patch looks good, but a small improvement proposal.

.flags are omitted, as it is for many panels in simple-panel.
drm_modes.h do not document any default, so we must assume default equals no flags.

I would expect two of these as a minimum:
DRM_MODE_FLAG_PHSYNC: horizontal sync is active high.
DRM_MODE_FLAG_NHSYNC: horizontal sync is active low.
DRM_MODE_FLAG_PVSYNC: vertical sync is active high.
DRM_MODE_FLAG_NVSYNC: vertical sync is active low.

But it obviously works for a lot of panel, so one
may say why bother with it.

.bus_format is specified - good!

Consider if .bus_flags needs to be specified.
(More or less same argumentation like for .flags above).

I could not find any data-sheet on the panel,
so I could not check if it is OK that all delays are 0.

So to recap - things looks fine, but consider to be more explicit
in .flags, bus_flags, and check if it is OK that all timing parameters are 0.
