I think so far the driver decides which mode to use the panel in. Technically this falls into the category of configuration, so it doesn't really belong in the DT.
The way we've used DT is for a bit of both hardware description and configuration I'd say, but I'm no authority on the subject.
I vaguely recall from discussions I've had on this subject that there's usually no reason to do video mode if you can do command mode because command mode is more power efficient. This was a long time ago, so I may be misremembering. Perhaps you have different information on this?
No idea. I was under the impression that video mode was preferred but I have no idea why.
