Both type and .phy.dpi.data_lines tell about the connection to the
panel, not about the panel itself. Thus I think it's more consistent to
have them defined in the board file.

Also, it's really up to the board HW design how many lines are connected
from OMAP to the panel. You could connect only 16, for example, so it's
something that has to be defined in the board file.
