He, as discussed in the other thread since sun8i-a33-q8-tablet.dts
is used for both 800x480 and 1024x600 versions we really need to
introduce new sun8i-a33-q8-tablet-800x600.dts and
sun8i-a33-q8-tablet-1024x600.dts files, which include
sun8i-a33-q8-tablet.dts and then add just the panel bits; and patch
newer u-boots to use those instead.

This way people who stick with an old u-boot will just not get
the drm driver, rather then all of a sudden getting a wrong
resolution.

Icenowy, can you please also submit a matching u-boot patch
(both the new dts file, as well as updating the defconfig you
  use to the new dts file)?

Regards,

Hans
