There is a DRM driver in the works, actually...

... and this makes me try to get out of its way. In other words, I fully
agree with you, but I don't think this applies to this particular patch,
as I'm not even trying to represent the display pipeline. The (optional)
"display-timings" sub-node has been "borrowed" from other older drivers
and can be easily deprecated in the future, replaced by standard ones
(whatever final shape they will take :-). All other extra properties are
CLCD-specific and orthogonal.
