Note that, for LVDS panels, the bus_format field is mandatory. This
panel, for instance, according to
http://www.vslcd.com/Specification/B101AW03%20V.0.pdf, uses
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB666_1X7X3_SPWG (see
https://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/userspace-api/v4l/subdev-formats.html#v4l2-mbus-pixelcode).
The panels below need to be investigated similarly.

This contradicts .bus_format and .bus_flags that hint that the panel is
a DPI panel, not an LVDS panel. According to
https://www.lcdtek.co.uk/dwpdf/ET057090DHU-RoHS.pdf, this isn't an LVDS
panel.

I'm worried enough research hasn't gone into this patch, and I'd prefer
reverting it until we check each panel individually.
