Given that this describes the rotation of the panel, I think it should
be described in terms of how the panel is rotated, not how the
framebuffer needs to be rotated. Using counter-clockwise, as described
in this binding seems fine to me.

It would have to be up to fbdev and DRM/KMS to transform that into a
clockwise rotation for the framebuffer, CRTC, plane, ...

Ideally with some sort of helper.
