I don't know what Stefan's approach is, but I do not think that a
bindings patch should be dropped. The waveshare might be a clone, but it
is a distinct device. If the same driver can control both, then the
compatible setups that should be permitted are:
compatible = "raspberrypi,7inch-touchscreen-panel";
and
compatible = "waveshare,7inch-touchscreen-panel", "raspberrypi,7inch-touchscreen-panel";

Cheers,
Conor.
