Sure, but we're then expected to do this in lock-step, not push the
first change, wait for someone to complain, and then fix other drivers
:-) If we're confident that panel drivers are already behaving properly
(which, in this case, more or less means that all LVDS panel drivers
should report that they are LVDS panel drivers), then we can already
move forward, but in any case, in a separate patch.
