Re: [PATCH v2] dt-bindings: display: panel: add panel-mipi-dsi-bringup

[Paulo Pavacic]

Hello,

If I understood you correctly you'd prefer it to be named 
fannal,c3004.yaml? My logic is that if more panels were to be added that 
means that each one would have yaml files that would look exactly the 
same with the same user.

Best regards,

Paulo
