AM335x is still quite popular in many application. Yes, tilcdc still has the bundled panel driver in it as it is the only feasible way maintain dtb backward compatibility. However, tilcdc is also capable to use standard drm panel drivers. Actually, this reminds me that I should update the am335x-evm dts to use panel-simple instead of the bundled driver, now that the "tvc,s9700rtwv43tr-01b" panel-simple support has reached the mainline.
