[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.
