We have standard drivers for panels and backlights which can do most of the

This patch includes device tree changes for the nvidia boards. I have only
been able to test seaboard. If this patch is applied, these boards will
also need to be synced with the kernel, and updated to use display-timings:

    - colibri
    - medcom-wide
    - paz00
    - tec

This file has huge changes unrelated to panel, video, and backlight. Perhaps patch 1/4 was meant to sync the DTs for Harmony and Ventana too rather than just Seaboard, leaving this commit to make roughly identical DT changes for all 3 boards?

It seems very strange to go to the effort of creating patch 1 to sync the U-Boot and Linux DT files (such that I assume they're 100% identical?) yet immediately have patch 2 diverge the two DTs again.

This lends more weight to my argument that the U-Boot DTs should contain only nodes that U-Boot actively uses. I can see the argument for copying over the entire DT from Linux into U-Boot in order to keep them 100% identical, and in turn that means importing a bunch of DT content that U-Boot doesn't use. However, that argument completely breaks down if the DTs are just going to diverge still.

At least the display-timings node is a standard binding, even if it isn't one that the Linux Tegra DTs make use of.

I assume those are all needed by the modified Tegra video/LCD driver. If so, wouldn't it make sense for that driver to select those Kconfig options rather than requiring every board defconfig to be modified to enable the features?
