I would prefer to add it in the panel-simple, if ever possible, as this already 
has the timing information etc. in the driver. I would probably opt to use the 
panel-lvds for an entirely new LVDS display, but as the innolux,g101ice-l01 is 
already supported in panel-simple, imho there should be no harm in supporting 
the jeida-18 operating mode as well. Also other displays in panel-simple 
_might_ benefit from supporting non-default LVDS mapping modes, though I have 
not researched whether they have actual hardware support for doing so.

that's a good idea, gonna change it for v3.
