Currently the LVDS controller driver is hardcoded to map LVDS lanes to 
the JEIDA format.

In order to support the other format "VESA", we need this to query the 
panel driver and set the appropriate format accordingly.

"drm_panel_get_modes(lvds->panel, connector)"

We'll be submitting the patch upstream shortly.
