panel-simple.yaml don't allow fallback to panel-dpi. Need seperated yaml
for it.

previous dt-binding discuss, don't allow failback to two compatible string
sorry, I can't remember exactly thread.

like
items:
  - const: ws101w001-wct
  - enum:
       - panel-dpi
       - panel-lvds

If supported both type, generally need customer property and new panel
driver to switch between dpi / lvds

or use
	ports {

		port@0: //connect dpi
		port@1: //connect lvds
	};


I think we can defer this lvds work until it is actually used because
- need a big hardware rework to support lvds, most likely it will not be
appeared at real productions. If it mass production, vendor most likely use
difference module number for it.
- it may be end of life if there are not much users.
