Can we fix the driver to not look for node names and look for compatible
strings instead? It took me a minute to find compare_name_mdp() in
drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_drv.c to understand what you're talking about.
Perhaps looking for qcom,mdp5 in there will be sufficient instead of
looking at the node name.
