Hi Peter,

Thank you for the patch.

Please describe the format in more details, with an explicit mapping of bits 
to signals, otherwise we'll end up again with multiple different 
interpretations (at least when it comes to endianness).

I think the string to fourcc conversion should take place in the DRM core, not 
in the LVDS encoder driver. This would avoid ending up with multiple 
incompatible conversions. It might even be better to move the DT parsing to 
the core as well, not just the conversion.
