I'm very sorry to hear that.

Fact remains, I think it's wasted effort trying to add more granularity
to drm_panel. The drm_panel maintainer is not receptive to the idea, I
don't think even with more rationale. And I don't really disagree with
his reasons. We use drm_panel because we originally thought we'd support
more than just VBT based stuff, but it doesn't look like it. See [1] for
some discussion.

BR,
Jani.
