Don't we already have support for DSI displays that only need a single
reset pin via panel-simple? [1]

The bit that confuses me is that the driver patch [2] is using DSI DCS
commands to configure the panel - that differs from this dt binding
description of the panel only needing a reset pin.

Potentially there is gain in having a template DSI panel driver
available for reference, but this driver/binding appears to be trying
to act as a generic thing.
