Rob suggested this, and also the opposite: using the same
"bananapi,s070wv20-ct16"
compatible string for both types of connections, and have the driver deal with
detecting the bus type.

The thing about the bridge chip is that there's no available datasheet that
describes all the parts of the init sequence, in fact none at all. I managed
to work out some bits, but the others remain a mystery and must be hard-coded
to match the panel. That would work against having a generic bridge driver.
