Add binding for MIPI DBI compatible SPI panels.

v6:
- Fix indentation (Rob)

v5:
- Add sainsmart18 to compatible items (Rob)
- Expand write-only description (Sam)

v4:
- There should only be two compatible (Maxime)
- s/panel-dbi-spi/panel-mipi-dbi-spi/in compatible

v3:
- Move properties to Device Tree (Maxime)
- Use contains for compatible (Maxime)
- Add backlight property to example
- Flesh out description

v2:
- Fix path for panel-common.yaml
- Use unevaluatedProperties
- Drop properties which are in the allOf section
- Drop model property (Rob)

+description: |
+  This binding is for display panels using a MIPI DBI compatible controller
+  in SPI mode.
+
+  The MIPI Alliance Standard for Display Bus Interface defines the electrical
+  and logical interfaces for display controllers historically used in mobile
+  phones. The standard defines 4 display architecture types and this binding is
+  for type 1 which has full frame memory. There are 3 interface types in the
+  standard and type C is the serial interface.
+
+  The standard defines the following interface signals for type C:
+  - Power:
+    - Vdd: Power supply for display module
+    - Vddi: Logic level supply for interface signals
+    Combined into one in this binding called: power-supply
+  - Interface:
+    - CSx: Chip select
+    - SCL: Serial clock
+    - Dout: Serial out
+    - Din: Serial in
+    - SDA: Bidrectional in/out
+    - D/CX: Data/command selection, high=data, low=command
+      Called dc-gpios in this binding.
+    - RESX: Reset when low
+      Called reset-gpios in this binding.
+
+  The type C interface has 3 options:
+
+    - Option 1: 9-bit mode and D/CX as the 9th bit
+      |              Command              |  the next command or following data  |
+      |<0><D7><D6><D5><D4><D3><D2><D1><D0>|<D/CX><D7><D6><D5><D4><D3><D2><D1><D0>|
+
+    - Option 2: 16-bit mode and D/CX as a 9th bit
+      |              Command or data                              |
+      |<X><X><X><X><X><X><X><D/CX><D7><D6><D5><D4><D3><D2><D1><D0>|
+
+    - Option 3: 8-bit mode and D/CX as a separate interface line
+      |        Command or data         |
+      |<D7><D6><D5><D4><D3><D2><D1><D0>|
+
+  The panel resolution is specified using the panel-timing node properties
+  hactive (width) and vactive (height). The other mandatory panel-timing
+  properties should be set to zero except clock-frequency which can be
+  optionally set to inform about the actual pixel clock frequency.
+
+  If the panel is wired to the controller at an offset specify this using
+  hback-porch (x-offset) and vback-porch (y-offset).
