I was using output-format, rgb_order, output-enable-mode to get my panel
to work.  I'm suspicious that the !output_enable_mode is not useful,
though (Note: I had documented it backwards: false is hsync|vsync, true
is hactive&vactive).  That just left me with output-format.  I think
.bus_format in the panel_desc can cover that, so I've now dropped all of
these brcm properties.
