Based on the descriptions of encoder and connector, MIPI has different hardware 
for both the encoder and the connector than LVDS.  If it is unnecessary to 
present encoder and connector type information to userspace, then I agree that 
it could be simplified.  However, with the current implementation, I think it 
would be misleading to refer to all internal panels as having the same encoder 
and connector types unless they did in fact share the same hardware encoders 
and connectors.

I wonder if this is all really necessary to present to userspace, or if
MIPI/LVDS/et al should just fall under 'internally-connected panel'?
