I do not agree with Linus here.
If I understand correctly the variability in the video timing comes from
the fact that the LCD Driver IC (NT35597) can be paired with different
LCD panels. As such I strongly believe that the compatible should
describe this combo, not which phone/devkit you mounted a panel using
this Driver IC on.
