Personally, I don't really care a whole lot either way. If I had to
make a judgement call I think it's a little cleaner the way Hsin-Yi
has it where we ignore whitespace at the end. Given that Dmitry also
suggested ignoring whitespace at the end [1] I guess I'd believe that
he also feels it's a little cleaner that way. However, If the only way
to get the patch series landed is to put the space at the end of the
name in panel-edp.c then I'm OK with that.

In terms of what else we should cater to, I guess we'd have to answer
that question when it comes up, with a bias against adding more
special case rules. _Hopefully_ it won't be common that we even need
this code and it will be the exception rather than the rule that
panels with incompatible timings have the same panel ID anyway...

In any case, hopefully the above explains my opinion on this. If you
feel strongly that we should remove the code handling whitespace at
the end then so be it. If you're on the fence then I guess I'd say
let's keep it...
