This SOFEF01-M Display-IC driver supports two modes with different

(panels) found on the Xperia 5 (6.1") and 10 II (6.0").

It is currently also used to hardcode significantly higher fake porches
for the Xperia 5, which are unused in transfers due to this being a
command-mode panel but do have an effect on the clock rates set by
dsi_host.c. Without higher clock rates this panel fails to achieve
60fps and has significant tearing artifacts, while the same calculated
clock rate works perfectly fine on the Xperia 10 II.

Are there really two panels? Can we use one mode for both usecases?

See the commit description where I explained exactly this: the panels
have different dimensions (6.1" vs 6.0", hence different DPI) and I also
abuse this to hack in higher clock rates via fake porches.

I just ended up on a scary website that supposedly contains the panel
names:

- Xperia 5 (bahamut, 6.1"): AMB609TC01
- Xperia 10 II (pdx201, 6.0"): AMS597UT01

Great! From the patch description it was not obvious if those are two
different panels or a single panel with slight difference in the glass
cover. With these names in place (well, with two distinct names in
place) it makes sense.

For completeness: keep the current single file but embed these panel
names as suffix (eg. `samsung,sofef-01-m-am[bs]...`) to the compatible
(and document these more explicitly elsewhere)?

Where do the sofef parts of the name come from? Glancing at other panels, I'd expect something simpler. Maybe:

samsung,sofef01m-amb60...
