Have you looked at [2]?
Or just run command in kernel git tree:
git log -p drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c
To add support for specific panel you add:
1. display mode(s),
2. panel description,
3. panel compatible string.
And then you use this compatible in dts.
To have patches accepted in mainline you should add bindings
for the panel, check history of dri-devel to see how to do it.

Yes, it should, if everything is properly done /dev/fb0 should be available.
Roughly steps to do:
1. add panel definition to drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c.
2. add panel entry and fimd bindings to itop dts.
3. enable exynos dpi, simple panel, drm_framebuffer in .config.

This is just matter of different display framework they have used.
In current kernel you should use drm framework.

After entering CLAA070WP03XG into web search you can find datasheet of it.
It contains timings specified above.
