[RFC PATCH 14/16] drm/panel-simple: Add eInk ED103TC2

ED103TC2 is a 10.3" 1872x1404 eInk panel which supports up to 16 levels
of grayscale and an 85 Hz frame rate. The timings and polarities here
were taken from the manufacturer's datasheet.

Since this panel is an electrophoretic display (EPD), the color depth is
independent from the bus width. Instead, it is largely determined by the
number of frames in the selected waveform. Each pixel uses two parallel
data lines to specify one of only three states each frame: positive,
negative, or no voltage.

This specific panel has a 16-bit data bus, allowing it to update 8
pixels during each source driver (horizontal) clock cycle. As a result,
the horizontal timings given in the datasheet were all multiplied by 8
to convert the units from clock cycles to pixels.

Since the 16-bit data bus is double the width of the usual 8-bit bus
used by eInk panels, the source driver clock will be half the usual
frequency. This is signified by the DRM_MODE_FLAG_CLKDIV2 flag.

The hskew parameter provides the spacing between the horizontal sync
puls and the gate driver (vertical) clock pulse. This spacing is
symmetrical on both sides, so it can be used to compute the gate
driver clock pulse width.
