Okay, so that means that the panel works for you with the same timings
that Philipp has in the ETM0700G0DH6 patch? If so then I definitely
think we should be sharing the timings in the driver by making the two

Yes, that would work.

I also noticed that Philipp's patch doesn't actually introduce the
device tree bindings, so that will have to be added as well.
