Will do.

It seems like a generalization of lvds_encoder to wrap a panel as a
connector would be useful.  I think I'd like to look at that as a
follow-on change.

Only two, actually.  And the other (cursor) is a 64x64 monochrome with
mask, so I'm not sure it's going to make sense to ever expose it.  I
think I'll give the simple helper a try before resubmitting.

Will do.
