If display timing is specified in panel-simple.c, then you have to specify
the connector_type there too, right? The problem here is that you don't
know the connector_type, as it could be either LVDS or DPI, and I'd assume
that we don't want two compatible strings - one for LVDS and the other for
DPI. Although display timing in panel-simple.c avoids duplicated panel-timing
nodes across various potential DT files, I think you have the "good" reason
here to use the panel-timing node + fallback compatible string with one single
panel specific compatible string.
