Ok, I'm fine with that, but in that case I think we have to use all the
panels in the same mode, i.e. the driver either sets the MO gpio always
low and uses VGA mode, or sets the MO always high and uses QVGA mode.

In your omap3-evm.dts patch, you set the MO gpio ACTIVE_LOW in order to
change the mode, even if it really should be ACTIVE_HIGH. But if you do
that, and we later add the support to the panel driver to manage the MO
gpio dynamically (i.e. the user can select VGA/QVGA at runtime), then
the panel won't work as the driver uses wrong polarity for the pin.
