No problem. I also wondered why this has been done. If I understood
Tomi right, the userspace team feared, that their software would not
work with 864, since it was originally written for 854.

Anyways I'm pretty sure, that the first 5 pixels are unusable
from the users point of view.

Assuming the non-developer edition can use the full display it
can be "unlocked" with my proposed DT bindings by slight
modifications. I guess there exist just a couple of those, so
maybe we just ignore it for the mainline kernel?
