Sorry, but I do not like this change. The beauty of panel-simple is that
this is a collection of simple display with identical bindings because
the HW is more or less the same (in general - not in details like size
etc).

Any panels that requires more are pushed out to their own binding and
for arm,rtsm-display that would be better.

It is not this single exceptions that bothers me, it is the many
exceptions we will have in a few years from now.

Fair enough, I'll make it a separate file.
