It seems weird to me that all the typical timings end up in a
non-typical configuration, but I've seen my fair share of weird
datasheet, so.. yeah.

I guess the best thing to do if you have access to the min/typ/max
timings is to actually use the display_timings structure here and define
all of them.

It at least gives us the opportunity to fix it later on.

It's not only about the panel itself. 6% gives your roughly 56fps when
you meant 60. This can then trip up some applications too. Like if
you're playing a 60fps application, it will either play too fast or
you'll get stutter, depending on how the video playback has been
implemented exactly.
