IMHO it's perfectly reasonable to report the panel orientation to
userspace, which can apply plane rotation as needed.

Although I see that this series, alike Derek's, has a couple of issues:
 - only a single panel driver is updated
 - rotation is _not_ listed as supported property, in said panel
driver device-tree bindings

My personal inclination is that we should aim for a comprehensive solution:
 - wire all panel drivers, as currently documented (quick grep list below)
 - document and wire-up the lvds and boe panels - as proposed by you
and Derek respectively
