The power-supply property is used by a vast majority of panels, including
panel-simple. Let's document it as a common property

Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the patch.

I think we should give more details here about the limitations of this 
property. How about the following explanation ?

- power-supply: display panels require power to be supplied. While several 
panels need more than one power supply with panel-specific constraints 
governing the order and timings of the power supplies, in many cases a single 
power supply is sufficient, either because the panel has a single power rail, 
or because all its power rails can be driven by the same supply. In that case 
the power-supply property specifies the supply powering the panel as a phandle 
to a regulator.

That works for me. Do you want me to resend it with that text, or
should I merge it (and if so, with your Reviewed-by or Acked-by?)?

Thanks!

No need to resend if it's just for me. With the above text,

Acked-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>

(on a side note, I wonder if it's more efficient to ask whether to resend 
instead of just resending :-))
