Yeah, I'll admit that the patch is a bit one-sided. I couldn't find a
way to specify a board using a class of displays with separate timing
settings.

One way to do it would be to add the settings to modedb, but modedb is
really only for standardized display settings. The other way to do it
would be to add a kernel config for which display you have connected to
the board, but I think that is a bad idea, because it makes everything
more complicated and switching out displays would require recompiling
the kernel.

Maybe Tomi or the fbdev guys have some input on how to best do this?
