+
+For devices that have multiple possible display panels (multi-sourcing the
+display panels is common on laptops, phones, tablets), this allows the
+bootloader to communicate which panel is installed, e.g.
+
+/ {
+ chosen {
+ panel-id = <0xc4>;
+ };

+ remote-endpoint = <&sn65dsi86_out_ivo>;
+ };

+ boe_panel_in_edp: endpoint {

+ display_or_bridge_device {

+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ reg = <0>;
+
+ endpoint@c4 {

+ remote-endpoint = <&boe_panel_in_edp>;

+
+Note that panel-id values can be sparse (ie. not just integers 0..n).
