Keep in mind that DSS2 is still a bit living target, you may need to do
changes to your board file or panel driver every now and then. If that
is ok for you, then I'd say DSS2 is better choice.

I'd say if you can wait, submit the patches only after DSS2 has gone in.
And I think at least the panel drivers should go through me, and I won't
take any patches until the core DSS2 driver has been merged.
