I did look for any display related DT bindings when I started the work
on OMAP DSS DT bindings. I didn't really find any. If I recall right,
the only thing I found was an example of basically:
fb at 1234567 {
compatible="asd";
reg=<1234567>;
};
So just a node for "framebuffer", with the register addresses. And maybe
video timings in some form.
Maybe I didn't know where to look.

This is totally unclear to me. How does it become a public standard?
What's the forum for this?

I don't have an issue with "linux," either. We could always later remove
the prefix (but keep drivers compatible with it). So it sounds quite a
safe approach to me, if we're not quite clear if these bindings are
acceptable, or how to get "public approval" for them.
