FWIW for other reviewers, the overscan and rotation are the really
important parts of this series.  Since Raspberry Pi ends up connected to
TVs so frequently, there are many users of the overscan workaround.
Rotation is important for supporting the official DSI touchscreen panel,
which is unfortunately mounted upside down in most mounts you'll find.

Would kselftests be an appropriate way to include these, maybe?
