[PATCH] drm/panel: Add Boe Himax8279d MIPI-DSI LCD panel

[Sam Ravnborg]

Hi Jerry.


> Support Boe Himax8279d 8.0" 1200x1920 TFT LCD panel, it is a MIPI DSI
> panel.

Thanks for your persistence with this driver.


Unfortunately the driver no longer builds after the drm_panel
work we committed earlier this week to drm-misc-next.

We have included backlight support in drm_panel.
Can you please introduce this and post a patch updating the driver to
use this.
See other panle patches what is required to use it.
(Mostly deleting code)

I took a look at the rest of the driver and everything looks good.

Sorry for causing you this extra trouble due to the drm_panel changes.
