Display panels can be oriented many ways, especially in the embedded
world. The rotation property is a way to describe this orientation.
The counter clockwise direction is chosen because that's what fbdev
and drm use.

Changes since version 3:
- Changed display/display.txt -> display/panel/panel.txt
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel.txt | 4 ++++
We now have both Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel.txt and
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel-common.txt as they have
been merged concurrently without being aware of each other. Would you mind if
I moved this property to panel-common.txt ?
Not at all, please do.
I would also like to document the property in a bit more details to avoid
confusion about the rotation direction, as "display rotation" could be
interpreted as the angle by which the display output has to be rotated to
obtain an upside-up image. What would you think of the following, am I
overdoing it, or is it even more confusing ?
I was more confused at least :-)
It's not important to me what the actual wording is, but I see that I
have used the word 'Display' which should have been 'Panel'.
Noralf.
- rotation: Panels are commonly mounted rotated, with their native orientation
not aligned with the device's orientation. The rotation property specifies the
angle in degrees between the panel's orientation and the device's orientation
(corresponding to a counter-clockwise rotation of the panel). Valid values are
0, 90, 180 and 270.
