Hrm, true.

Perhaps have hidden Kconfig options for the baseline LVDS vs PARALLEL
support and then a choice of GENERIC //, GENERIC LVDS, HITACHI TX..,
OTHER MAGIC PANEL with appropriate selects on the hidden options?

Then the generic code would use the hidden options, no need for a weird
#ifdef/#define pair for each non-standard panel (which depending on how
many panels are normal vs. needing magic could get unwieldy).
