Re: [PATCH v2 0/8] Add a panel API to return panel orientation

Hi, Hsin-Yi:

I'm curious that panel driver setting orientation in get_modes() would
work or not. It it works, why not just set orientation in get_modes()?
I find that exynos dsi driver has implement the get_modes() [1] but
Mediatek dsi does not implement. Would you try this?
