The binding should be a separate patch.

This is not a property, but a node so it needs its own section.
Also, it's not real clear from display-timing.txt, but the modes
should be grouped under a display-timings node. Looks like we haven't
been good at enforcing that as "panel-timing" is also common when
there's a single mode. I'd rather not have another way. With a
standard node name, we can validate the node more easily.
We'd lose the fact that this is explicitly an override, but I'd doubt
Thierry is going to start letting in panels with no timings.
Finally, since this is an override, is it valid to only override the
parameters that need overriding? I don't really have an opinion either
way. It just needs to be explicitly documented.
