Any suggestions if and how it is possible to use a gpu/drm/panel MIPI DSI
video mode panel with omapdrm (on OMAP5)?

The problem is that our old omapdrm/display driver is broken since v5.7 and
an experimental gpu/drm/panel driver does not probe. And I assume that
omapdrm/display will disappear completely soon.

BR and thanks,
