Being no graphics expert, looking at above device tree change, I'd like 
to understand how this can be used to switch between different display 
timings?

In the kernel, I've found the code which selects the default/native-mode 
(of_display_timing.c). But, as here, if there is a native/default mode, 
there are alternative modes. I haven't understood how and who to select 
these other modes? In this case, how could the alternative modes 
timing0/1/2/3/4 be selected in the kernel?

Do you have any pointers regarding this?

You need to set the property 'native-mode' to the phandle of the
display-timings entry like marked above.
