Good to hear. The DPI panel support should use gpio-backlight
driver as discussed in the DPI thread. Did you have to patch
anything for the timings etc?

If you have the board working, care to take a look at making
the gpio-backlight change?

Otherwise we'll be creating unncessary churn and maintainer
headaches with patching half a dozen DPI using boards to change
them over to use gpio-backlight.
