There's no such thing as the panel bindings on Linux. I think nobody's
done that before, there's also no suitable software abstraction, but I
suppose that should be irrelevant for this discussion.

Perhaps it would be useful to add an extra node for the mode definition,
if only to keep the data separate from that of the rgb node. I know that
there currently are no other properties, but the rgb node was supposed
to define the output or connector. If ever the same needs to be done for
any of the TVO or DSI outputs, more properties may be needed.
Furthermore the code to parse this would be more generic because you
could pass it any DT node. Of course the nvidia,-prefixed properties
wouldn't be part of that subnode because they don't define the mode as
such.
Thinking about it some more, maybe the mode information should really be
part of the panel description below.

If we can reach some kind of agreement on the power-sequencing code that
Alexandre (Cc'ed) is working on, then this can be replaced with a more
generic description. This also has the usual problem of being a non-
addressable top-level node...
