This patch adds a new subnode to simple-panel allowing us to override
the typical timing expressed in the panel's display_timing.

Changes in v2:
 - Split out the binding into a new patch (Rob)
 - display-timings is a new section (Rob)
 - Use the full display-timings subnode instead of picking the timing
   out (Rob/Thierry)

+display-timings subnode
+-----------------------
+
+This optional subnode is for devices which require a mode differing from the
+panel's "typical" display timing as programmed in the simple-panel driver.
+Overriding the driver mode must only be done in the following scenario:
+ - The restrictions motivating the override cannot be applied to the platform's
+   display driver (ie: it must be specific to the device not the platform)
+ - The panel must not have a fixed mode attributed to it in the driver
+ - The panel must provide at list one display_timing range by which the 
override
+   mode can be validated against
+ - The override mode will use the 'typ' values from the display-timings subnode
+ - You must provide all required properties for the display-timings subnode
+
+Format information on the display-timings subnode can be found in
+display-timing.txt.
