Why do we need a node for this? Isn't this just wired how it is wired
and there's nothing for s/w to see or do? I suppose if you are trying to
resolve the mode with 24-bit on one end and 18-bit on the other end, you
need to allow that and not require an exact match. You still might need
to figure out which pins the 18-bit data comes out on, but you have that
problem with an 18-bit panel too. IOW, how is this any different if you
have an 18-bit panel versus 24-bit panel?
