Kristian brought an old bug to my attention
<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=750354> and it
made me think.  Should we somehow adjust the bindings here to account
for the fact that a board may source several different panels?

AKA: on some boards an ODM may want to second source (or third source,
or ...) the panel.  They'll randomly connect several different panels
to the board and ship the boards out.  The panels are all compatible
electrically (same power sequencing) but might need slightly different
timings.  In this particular case there's no board-level strappings
for the different panels--it's assumed that the EDID on the panels can
be used to distinguish them.

In that case it seems like it would be nice to allow specifying more
than one "panel-timing" nodes.  Maybe keyed off some type of ID that's
present in the EDID?


Is that something we'd want to account for before we land this series?
 It seems like it would just be adding an extra level of nodes?
