It seems that at least "depth" is missing from the binding document.
You're right.

Actually depth is not a "hardware" caracteristic. Moreover it's just used as an
overlay for pxafb_set_pixfmt() to superseed var->bits_per_pixel. I'm wondering
if the right path for of_get_pxafb_mode_info() would be to remove completely
depth, and leave it initialized at 0 for the DT case.

What do you think of this approach ? The other one would be to modify the
binding, and yet I feel this depth doesn't belong to the binding, it's my patch
which requires another spin IMHO.
Yes, we should avoid non-hardware relate properties in the .dts files if
at all possible. If the driver works fine without the property, I think
it's fine to remove it. If it is required it needs to be added to the
binding document.
Ok, agreed Tomi. That commits me for a v6, as the driver works fine on my
tests. I'll send it in the next couple of days.

Thanks for the review.
