This file has the:
	panel {
		compatible = "sii,43wvf1g";

Whereas in those devices (i.e. btt3) - I don't know the names of the
displays - manufacturer buys them according to the timing properties.

Hence the question - how shall I proceed?

IMHO the most straightforward way is to modify fsl,lcdif.yaml to
not require "port" and "remote-endpoint" and instead add support for
"display-timings" and "timingX"

Especially that
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/display-timings.yaml

are already defined and used by many imx boards (from imx25 to imx6q)
- git grep -n "display-timings"

Even the imx28-m28evk.dts is using the "display-timings" and not
"remote-endpoint" approach.
