As I wrote in another part of this thread(s) - typing the patch is easy.
But I do not understand the userspace implications so I need someone
else to say go.
User-space shouldn't really use the connector for anything except making it
easier for the user to understand where to plug the display cable. I think a
generic "panel" connector type makes sense.
I'll drop this patch from the series. I didn't have all the context and thought
that was an opportunity to add an I2C type, since there was a SPI type already.

But seems to be more controversial than I expected and shouldn't really matter
for a tiny driver like this. I will just go ahead and use the Unknown type.
