What's left is the display-subsystem { } entity to describe the makeup
of the subsystem.  That's not included as we currently need to pass
a block of memory, and the DT support for reserving chunks of memory
appeared (last time I looked) to only be botch-merged (only half of it
seems to have been merged making the whole reserved memory thing
totally useless - why people only half-merge features I've no idea.)

There was a follow-up patch set for this some days ago

Yes, I did a bit of digging a while back and found the outstanding
stuff, but it wasn't clear what's happening with it.  As it isn't
part of mainline, and I don't want to pick up further patches to
add dependencies, I decided it was better to stick with old proven
ways of a manually declared platform device for the time being.
