Introduce new "orientation" property for describing in which
orientation a panel has been mounted to the device. This can
be used by the operating system to automatically rotate the
display correctly.

The rotation property in panel.txt already handles this, right?

Yes, looks like it can be used. I guess panel.txt and
panel-common.txt should be merged, though?

Yes, please. Actually, I'd like to merge simple-panel.txt too because
that is really kernel driver, not a type of panel. But there's a lot
of references to it to fix.
