Have you considered a new driver for edp panels?
panel-edp.c?

There will be some duplicate code from pnale-simple - but the same can
be said by the other panel drivers too.
In the end I think it is better to separate them so we end up with two
less complex panel drivers rather than one do-it-all panel driver.

I have not looked in detail how this would look like, but my first
impression is that we should split it out.
