Not really a road I want to pave and encourage others.

I guess bus-width is all we have. Normally, this is all implied by the
compatible strings of either the controller, panel or both.

Another way to look at it is, we already have support for lots of
panels and controllers. If those haven't needed to specify this
information, then why do you?

You have my opinion. I don't think Thierry's will be different.

My suggestion is to move the settings you need into the panel driver
and out of DT. We can always move things to DT later if it makes
sense.
