Well they are not any different on the JZ4780, I just checked on the 
manual.
But yes, I don't mind getting rid of that devicetree property and its
corresponding bindings file.

The major problem is that we don't have a way to map some of the values 
there
to DRM macros. I sumitted a PR to add a MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB888_3X8_BE bus 
format
(that I could detect to support 8-bit serial TFT panels, which is what 
the
Ben Nanonote uses), but I miss a way to detect the special* TFT panels.
I will leave these aside for now, but I want to support them eventually.

Thanks,
-Paul

* "special" TFT panels have extra pins (CLS, SPL, REV, PS) and seem to 
be a
thing from Sharp. Ingenic SoCs (as well as i.MX SoCs) have the required
hardware to drive these panels.
