It looks to me that the conversion was done properly because rotation property was added as a common panel property from the start. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=b60c1be747418a07fbe04f8533394a64b27b6181 >>>> I don't think that it makes sense to wire up rotation property to all >>>> panel drivers at once because those drivers will be untested, at least I >>>> don't know anything about those other panels and can't test them.

I looked through the DT bindings and only those few tiny-DRM drivers use the DT rotation property. The parsed rotation value passed to the MIPI DBI core where it's validated and utilized further. I don't feel that it's worthwhile to touch that code because switching it to the common DRM helper for reading out DT orientation won't bring any real benefits. The samsung-s6e8aa0 panel driver indeed uses the non-standard flip-x/y DT properties in order to achieve the 180 rotation, but I'm not sure whether it's worthwhile to touch this driver as well because it will require the board's DT change. The panel's orientation could be parsed by any panel driver and then assigned as the connector's property in order to allow userspace/FB-core to decide what to do with the rotated display. Apparently upstream kernel supports only that one Samsung device which has display panel mounted upside-down and it already uses the custom DT properties for achieving the 180 rotation. So I don't quite see any panel drivers that instantly could benefit from using the rotation property. Perhaps I can add the orientation support to the panel-simple driver, but will it be useful to anyone?
