I just have "fbdev" in the xorg.conf. Certainly not the best choice but it seems to be the most generic setup without having to tweak every combination of user-space release and kernel version and hardware variant.

Section "Monitor"
                Identifier              "lcd"
                VendorName              "BOE"
                ModelName               "W677L"
                Option                  "Rotate" "right"        # use TILER rotation
                DisplaySize             111 62          # LCD size in millimeters
EndSection

Section "Device"
                Identifier              "display0"
                Driver                  "fbdev"
                Option                  "Monitor-DSI-1" "lcd"
                Option                  "HWcursor" "False"
EndSection

Of course the kernel config uses DRM_OMAP:
