[PATCH v1 1/1] dt-bindings: one binding file for all simple panels

[Sam Ravnborg]

Thierry - I would appreciate feedback from you on this approach!

There is an increasing number of new simple panels.
Common for all simple panels are that they have a
mandatory power-supply and some of them have backlight and / or
an enable gpio.

The binding file to describe these panels adds overhead
that really do not add value.
The binding are known and there is nothing gained from a specific
example as they all look alike.

The following patch introduces a single panel-simple.yaml
and converts two ampire bindings over to the new file.

The conversion - if applied will have following effects:

- The maintainer for the individual file will change
    There is no need for many different maintainers for a simple binding.
    We have the same situation with the panel-simple driver in the kernel.

- The license will change to (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause)
    There is usually only a single line copied from the original
    file, a line that is often copied from a datasheet.
    This license change should be acceptable considered what little
    is copied.
    If the license change is not OK we can use a dedicated binding
    file in these cases.

This is a follow-up on Rob's big patch converting a lot of panel bindings
to individual files:

"dt-bindings: display: Convert a bunch of panels to DT schema"
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1197683/

The objectives with one file for all the simple panles are:
- Make it simpler to add bindings for simple panels
- Keep the number of bindings file lower and thus easier to find a
  relevant file to copy from when adding new panels.
- Keep the binding documentation for simple panels more consistent
- Make it simpler to add support for new panels

+description: |
+  This binding file is a collection of the simple (dump) panels that
+  requires only a power-supply.
+  There are optionally a backlight and an enable GPIO.
+  If the panel is more andvanced a dedicated binding file is required. 
+  The panel may use a port binding for the association to the display,
+  or it may be a direct child node of the display.
