There's not any such thing as a standard eDP connector, is there? 
Otherwise, that's just creating a generic panel binding in disguise. 
Maybe if eDP interface is standardized enough in terms of power control, 
control lines, EDID at least sometimes present, etc., then we could have 
some sort of generic eDP panel/connector binding.
