[PATCH v1 3/4] dt-bindings: display: panel: add Ilitek ILI9488 panel

Add device tree binding documentation for TFT LCD panels based on
the Ilitek ILI9488 controller connected via MIPI DBI Type-C Option 1
over SPI.

The binding documents panels such as the WF35-320480UD operating in
RGB666 (18-bit) pixel format and describes required GPIOs, power
supply, optional backlight and panel timing.

A 'rotation' property is provided to configure the display
orientation.

+description: |
+  Ilitek ILI9488 TFT LCD controller connected over MIPI DBI Type C
+  Option 1 using an SPI bus.
+
+  Specific panels such as the Winstar WF35-320480UD may provide a
+  vendor-specific compatible string followed by "ilitek,ili9488"
+  as fallback.
+
+  The controller supports RGB666 (18-bit) pixel format over SPI.
