Re: [PATCHv2 6/6] video: fb: vt8500: Convert framebuffer drivers to standardized binding

Now that a display timing binding is available, convert our almost identical

This patch converts the vt8500 and wm8505 framebuffer drivers and
associated dts/dtsi files to use the standard binding as defined in
bindings/video/display-timing.txt.

There are two side-effects of making this conversion:

1) The fb node should now be in the board file, rather than the soc file as
the display-timing node is a child of the fb node.

2) We still require a bits per pixel property to initialize the framebuffer
for the different lcd panels. Rather than including this as part of the
display timing, it is moved into the framebuffer node.

This means that the boards using the current DT bindings won't work with
a kernel with these patches, right? Is that ok?

I don't have any idea how strict we should be with DT bindings in
keeping compatibility...
