I didn't express myself very clearly here =). The way I think this
should be written is "display-timings node".

+required properties:
+ - hactive, vactive: Display resolution
+ - hfront-porch, hback-porch, hsync-len: Horizontal Display timing parameters
+   in pixels
+   vfront-porch, vback-porch, vsync-len: Vertical display timing parameters in
+   lines
+ - clock-frequency: displayclock in Hz

I still think "displayclock" should be two words: "display clock".

I believe you're still potentially leaking memory here. In case you have
5 entries for instance, and the last one fails to parse, then this will
cause the memory allocated for the 4 correct entries to be lost.

Can't you just call display_timings_release() in this case and then jump
to dispfail? That would still leak the native_mode device node. Maybe it
would be better to keep timingfail but modify it to free the display
timings with display_timings_release() instead? See below.

+			disp->native_mode = disp->num_timings;
+
+		disp->timings[disp->num_timings] = dt;
+		disp->num_timings++;
+	}
+	of_node_put(timings_np);
+	of_node_put(native_mode);
+
+	if (disp->num_timings > 0)
+		pr_info("%s: got %d timings. Using timing #%d as default\n", __func__,
+			disp->num_timings , disp->native_mode + 1);
+	else {
+		pr_err("%s: no valid timings specified\n", __func__);
+		display_timings_release(disp);
+		return NULL;
+	}
+	return disp;
+
+timingfail:
+	if (native_mode)
+		of_node_put(native_mode);
+	kfree(disp->timings);

Call display_timings_release(disp) instead of kfree(disp->timings)?

Nit: should have a blank line before #endif.
