I've proposed something similar a few times in the past, so I can't
disagree :-)

Do you need this, can't you set data to 0 in the panel-dpi entry ?

I think you've dropped lvds666 in the DT bindings, so this should be
dropped too. Furthermore, I think the data-mapping property should be
reconsidered (see my review of the bindings), so this would need to
change too.
