What good is it if it shall never be used on its own? The above sounds
to me like the panel-specific compatible string implies the LVDS
binding, in a way that many compatible strings imply the simple binding.
Note that initially we did the very same thing with "panel-simple", only
to realize that it's completely redundant because it is never used.

Looks like I should go read the patch that introduces panel-common.txt
first...
