This solutions looks very good to me.
Now the panel can report to the display driver that is needs the
DRM_BUS_FLAG_SHARP_SIGNALS, so the display driver can adapt to the
connected display.
Obviously not many display drivers will support DRM_BUS_FLAG_SHARP_SIGNALS
but the one that does now no longer need to include panel configuration.

You can add:

But we need Thierry or someone else with more knowledge in this
area to comment on this before we can apply it.
drm_bus_flag is today only timing related config, and there be a better
way to do this.

Thierry?
