I think it could be done with all panels in an endpoint of their own, as
it is currently in this patch. All the panels would be disabled by
default, and one of them gets enabled at some early boot phase. The
fbdev driver would then iterate the endpoints and pick the first panel
that's enabled.

That would be almost the same as what's already in this patch, except
(if I'm not mistaken) the detection part could be in platform code, and
the fbdev driver itself would know nothing about board specific
detection or board specific panel lists.

So maybe that would be a bit cleaner. Still ugly, I think =). I really
don't like having possible-panels in the Schrödinger's DT data
(http://www.angryflower.com/387.html).

That said, maybe this is the best way to deal with Versatile, without
requiring any change to the bootloader or the boot mechanism.

What is the current status of Versatile? Have we had working display
with Versatile when booting with device tree? Or has the display been
supported only with legacy boot?
