While there are limits to what can be described here, I'm okay with

So it should be "vcc-supplies". Most properties containing phandles use plural
naming, even if Linux supports a single phandle only (e.g. "power-domains").
You also may want to add an optional "vcc-supply-names" property to
differentiate.

Yes, I think it's an impossible task to create a really generic driver
wrt. gpios and supplies. There may be a bunch of them, and a particular
sequence to enable/disable needed, and even particular delays required
in between.

So I think the best we can do is to support (hopefully) most of the
panels by defining one sequence panel-dpi uses. If a particular panel
falls outside that, a separate driver is needed.
