drm/panel: simple: add NEC NL6448BC33-70C

This commit adds support for the NEC NL6448BC33-70C 10.4" 640x480 LCD module
to the simple panel driver.

Are this bus_format and bus_flags compatible with an LVDS connector type?

In panel_simple_probe(), there are WARN_ON() checks that enforce strict
configuration rules for LVDS panels.

MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB666_1X18 is a parallel RGB (DPI) format, not an LVDS format
(like MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB666_1X7X3_SPWG). Because it is missing from the LVDS
format whitelist, it looks like this will trigger a warning during probe.

Similarly, DRM_BUS_FLAG_PIXDATA_DRIVE_POSEDGE is not in the whitelist of
allowed LVDS flags, which guarantees the bus flag WARN_ON() will also trigger.

Could this mix of parallel RGB format settings with an LVDS connector type
cause hardware configuration issues or a corrupted display?
