OK. It seems we can have at least two different timings for this panel,
the VGA timing above and the QVGA timings that LDP uses that are listed
in the .dts changes.

What do you have in mind for telling that? We should also tell the
orientation of the panel:

EVM	VGA	omapfb.rotate=3
LDP	QVGA	omapfb.rotate=0

Do you have something in mind for that?

Oh so what do you want to have in the .dts file then?
