The WL-355608-A8 is a 3.5" 640x480@60Hz RGB LCD display used in a

vendor prefix is not provided as the panel OEM is unknown.
Where has this consensus been found?
I had a look at the previous discussions, and I can't find any consensus
being reached there. And for that kind of thing, having the ack or
review of any of the DT maintainers would have been great.
There was a consensus with Conor, this is why he acked v2, see

It's probably a matter of semantics here, but if it's with only one
person, it's not a consensus but an agreement.
```
I think if we genuinely do not know what the vendor is then we just
don't have a prefix.

And even then, I don't interpret Conor's statement as a formal agreement
but rather an acknowledgment of the issue.
Well since both maintainers (DT and Panel) agreed, isn't it all good ?
I agree with Conor so I applied the patchset after Connor reviewed it and the comment was fixed in v3:

Yeah, I know. Still, it's a major deviation to what we've always been
doing, getting the DT maintainers voice on that would have been a good
idea.
I consider Conor's voice enough as one of the DT maintainers.
