Hmm. As Hsin-Yi pointed out to me offline. Somehow we'll need to get
the actual panel ID out. Right now in panel-edp.c we have:

dev_warn(dev,
  "Unknown panel %s %#06x, using conservative timings\n",
  vend, product_id);

Where "vend" and "product_id" come from the panel ID of a panel that
we didn't recognize. For instance:

  Unknown panel BOE 0x0731, using conservative timings

We need to still be able to print this message for unrecognized
panels. Then when we see field reports including this message we know
that somehow we ended up shipping an unrecognized panel.

Any suggestions on what abstraction you'd like to see to enable us to
print that message if everything is opaque?
