The panel-dpi compatible is a fallback that allows the DT to specify the timing. When matching panel-dpi expect the device tree to include the timing information for the display-panel. Background for this change: There are a lot of panels and new models hits the market very often. It is a lost cause trying to chase them all and users of new panels will often find them in situations that the panel they ues are not supported by the kernel. On top of this a lot of panels are customized based on customer specifications. Including the panel timing in the device tree allows for a simple way to describe the actual HW and use this description in a generic way in the kernel. This allows uses of proprietary panels, or panels which are not included in the kernel, to specify the timing in the device tree together with all the other HW descriptions. And thus, using the device tree it is then easy to add support for an otherwise unknown panel. The current support expect panels that do not require any delays for prepare/enable/disable/unprepare. Oleksandr Suvorov replied: I've just tested this patch on Apalis iMX6Q and Colibri iMX7D using panel settings from the following patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20200115123401.2264293-4-oleksandr.suvorov@toradex.com/ It works for me, thanks!

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
