I think that it's more complicated than it needs to be.

Why do we need to support (and switch to) both the actual and
"simulated" panel?

Wouldn't it be simpler if we had a vkms-like panel that we could either
configure from DT or from debugfs that would just be registered the
usual way and would be the only panel we register?
