That's a good idea, but I think you can use the entire struct. Everything has
reasonable default values and I think it might be difficult to draw a line in
the sand as to which fields will or won't be useful for panels going forward.
Best for drivers to just treat the info in drm_display_info as best effort and
have good defaults IMO.
