The reason for doing it here is that the devicetree is splitted into 2 Layers (3 with imx6qdl.dtsi).
The first Layer (imx6qdl-emcon.dtsi) describes the i.mx6 Module named "emCON-MX6", with all drivers
(some are currently disabled) to provide all functionality as defined by its specification. 
For the RGB port it means that it defaults to 24 bit. However, the "panel" connects the specified
backlight pwm and the corresponding enable pin of the display. 
In the file you're mentioning here the AVARI baseboard is configured and described, which has an 
18bit EDT RGB connector. Also the display is an option and might be a different one on customer's 
hardware. 
So if custom designs based on our module/baseboard are made, they'll have just to specify the display type
actually connected and we'll save the boilerplate of drm + pm connections.

I've got a little different point of view on this since the OSS Europe 2017 - part of gpl2 following.

GPLv2-Para1 (=>highlighted<=) :
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium,
 provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an 
=> appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; <=
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

After reviewing this I think apparently I should include the Warranty disclaimer as well.
Examples could be found  in:
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-tbs2910.dts
and
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-zii-rdu2.dts

I'll change it for v3 of this patch however it will end up like this:

do you have an reference for that? What I've found so far was telling the format I used.

Got any reference for that? Since we're using the C preprocessor before
feeding them to dtc, we can use the same // style for both, builds fine.

Only for my private DT overlay files that I use directly with dtc I
couldn't adopt that style.

The doc states:

If a specific tool cannot handle the standard comment style, then the
appropriate comment mechanism which the tool accepts shall be used. This
is the reason for having the "/\* \*/" style comment in C header
files.

I interpreted that as dtc doesn't handle // comments, use /**/

But I agree it also states:
.dts{i}:	  // SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>

So I think we will end up with a mix of both.

after some regexp on arch/arm/boot/dts, the current state is:
216 SPDX identifiers total
	184 by GregKH in b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd starting with //
	2 times /*  also by GregKH in the commit above (in .h files)
	27 occurrences of  "* SPDX"

However, the de-facto comment style in the arm devicetrees seems to be /* */
So with the current information I would prepare v3 with:

// SPDX-License-Identifier
/* Copyright-text + Header
*/
[...]

We are well past the point of being able to build most dts files with just dtc.
