V2: deleted oneOf property from compatible
changed prefix from 'philips' to existing vendor prefix 'nxp'
placed `reg = <0>` right after `compatible`

About parameters exposed for controller:
inverted - I had an unbranded display that after reset had all pixels black,
while register was in 'normal operation'. The display I have now is opposite:
all white after reset in normal mode. This parameter should help user keep
same settings in KMS(?) for diverse displays;
voltage-op & temperature-coeff - adjusts contrast for display. voltage-op
cannot be expressed in real units, because resulting equation looks like
V = a + Vop * b, where a and b varies with ambient temperature. Vop is a
coefficient. same story for temperature-coeff - it shifts resulting voltage
curve depending on display usage invironment;
bias - relates to waveforms for LCD segments. default is 4 and should be
changed only if you use external oscillator for display.
