Move the Waveshare panels description into separate document, so they
can be properly described with compatible = "waveshare,...", "panel-dpi"
and attached to "waveshare,dsi2dpi" bridge.
But why do we need "panel-dpi"? Adding that requires changing a DT.
Can't you make the kernel handle these compatible strings as a
"panel-dpi" without the compatible?
compatible = "waveshare,13.3inch-panel", "panel-dpi";
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this ... would be removed. Do we want that ?
The other option would be to add the timings into panel-simple driver, then we wouldn't have to change the bindings at all. Maybe that would be preferable ?
