Hi Fabrizio,

Thank you for the patch.

This is a bit of a hack, as I think the information should be queried
from the panel, like we do for bridges. I'd say we can live with this
for now, but as the data swap flag should come from the panel as well,
we will need infrastructure for that, and we can as well through the
dual link flag there at the same time.

I think we should use the drm_bridge_timings structure for this purpose,
as it would make life more difficult for users of drm_bridge and
drm_panel to have two different structures (especially when wrapping a
drm_panel with drm_panel_bridge_add()). The structure could be renamed
if desired.
