Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the patch.

I think we should give more details here about the limitations of this 
property. How about the following explanation ?

- power-supply: display panels require power to be supplied. While several 
panels need more than one power supply with panel-specific constraints 
governing the order and timings of the power supplies, in many cases a single 
power supply is sufficient, either because the panel has a single power rail, 
or because all its power rails can be driven by the same supply. In that case 
the power-supply property specifies the supply powering the panel as a phandle 
to a regulator.
