    This panel-edp driver is a step forward for cleaning up the situation but doesn't remove the existing hard-coded configurations from the kernel. So this is a nice step forward moving ahead and hopefully proves reliable enough that developers will rely less on the DT hard-coding for the panels.

    And having been forced to write my own xorg.conf file in the past for years because X couldn't correctly probe my monitor's refresh rates and resolutions, I am going assume it will always probe wrongly until proven otherwise.
