Hello,

This small patchs series adds two DT overlays that model a Mitsubishi
AA1024XD12 panel connected to a Salvator-X(S) board or a Draak or Ebisu
board.

The panel is external to the development board and is optional, so DT
overlays seem to be the best option to me. They can easily be applied by
U-Boot. For instance, when booting a FIT image, a list of configurations
can be specified. Here's the boot script I'm using (with the U-Boot
bootcmd simply set to "dhcp && source"):

--------
setenv bootargs "console=ttySC0,115200 rw root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp"
setenv bootfile gen3/kernel_fdt.itb
setenv fdtfile r8a77965-salvator-xs.dtb
setenv overlay_files "salvator-panel-aa104xd12.dtbo"

for overlay in ${overlay_files}; do
        setenv overlaystring "${overlaystring}\\#conf-${overlay}"
done

tftpboot ${bootfile}
bootm ${fileaddr}#conf-${fdtfile}${overlaystring}
--------

This is much simpler than the hack branch I used to carry with per-board
DT changes to enable panel support on a particular board (and last but
not least, it hopefully can be merged in mainline !).

The only difference between the two overlays is the LVDS output that the
panel is connected to (LVDS0 on Salvator-X(S), and LVDS1 on Draak and
Ebisu). On my xmas wish list is a mechanism to make this configurable at
the time the overlay is applied, but I think I'll be a sad little boy on
xmas day.

As these are the first DT overlays for Renesas boards in the mainline
kernel, comments are welcome. If the approach gets positive feedback, we
could turn other external add-ons (panels, camera modules, ...) into
overlays as well.

Compared to v1, this version creates the endpoints for the lvds0 and
lvds1 ports in the overlays, to take into account the changes from
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/.
