Looks like I never replied to this, though I remember at least making up the reply in my head.
The reason why I'd like to keep this is that it's technically the right interface for display drivers to use. It was introduced in order to fix some of the short-comings of ->get_modes(), though it seems like there simply hasn't been a need so far for drivers to do this.
OK. That makes some sense then. I was writing a new panel driver, and it was confusing to have this unused code in panel-simple that I was deriving from.
