Add an output panel driver for LCD panels.  Tested with LCD3 cape on
beaglebone.

v1: original
v2: s/of_find_node_by_name()/of_get_child_by_name()/ from Pantelis
    Antoniou
v3: add backlight support
v4: rebase to latest of video timing helpers

So given that I'm utterly lacking clue about all things of (which seems to
be where all the magic in this patch lies) I'm just gonna ask a few funny
questions.

Why do we need to jump through the intermediate videomode thing here? Is
that a deficiency of the of/videomode stuff?

Shouldn't these values all be documented somewhere in the devictree docs?
Or are they somewhat standardized?

If this _really_ works that easily, I'll have of-envy for the rest of my
life :(

/me hates the real-world abomination called Intel backlight handling

there is a helper that cut through the intermediate videomode
structure, although it assumed you are doing that at the point where
you still have the 'struct device_node *' (in the probe code) which
didn't really fit well for how I had structured things.  So I just
skipped it.  I guess I could have gone straight to array of
drm_display_mode in the probe call, and then copied them here in
get_modes() but this just seemed a bit easier.

Yeah, I guess I need to add DT docs..  I didn't realize this earlier.
