I agree with it too. Would you make such patch based on your s3c-fb patch set?
Somebody should make it and definitely not to remove multiple LCD
suport for these boards.

Right now s3c_fb_pd_win contains exactly LCD timing values.
Your patch will move these timing values to struct fb_videomode.

I could make necessary patch for that too, but I think you will spend
less time doing it by yourself than syncing with me.
What do you think?
