The value of the ingenic,lcd-mode depends on the panel used.
So this looks like a panel property and not a display property.

The panel should be specified using an OF graph binding
in a port sub-node.
The remote-endpoint will specifify the panel properties
and if the panel requires something special from the display driver,
the panle should specify this.
So one can change panel without touching the display node
in the DT.

As hinted above the panel is not specified above and to follow the
modern way to do so would be to use a OF graph binding.
