[PATCH v2 10/11] video: simple-panel: support panel-lvds DT bindings

simple-panel already parses display-timings, enable-gpios and a
backlight phandle from DT, which is exactly what a Linux panel-lvds
node provides. Unlike Linux's drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c
we have no hardcoded panel tables, so there's nothing LVDS-specific
left for a dedicated driver to do. Bring panel-lvds DTs in:
- Match "panel-lvds" in the of_device_id table.
- Read modes from a "panel-timing" subnode as a fallback when
"display-timings" isn't present. Linux's panel-lvds binding uses
the singular form; without this, the panel reports "No modes
found" and the display chain has nothing to allocate a fb for.
- Switch the power-supply lookup to regulator_get_optional() and
treat -ENODEV as "no supply". Many panel-lvds DTs omit
"power-supply" because the rail is hard-wired; the call sites
already pass NULL through safely.
