That's unfortunate. In that case perhaps a better approach would be to
add a video timings node to the device that provides the DVI output?

The panel bindings are really for internal panels and should define all
of their properties. That's also why they need a specific compatible
string.

What the above two bindings define are really "connectors" with a fixed
resolution rather than panels.
