After discussing the matter with Laurent Pinchart it turned out that using ti,tilcdc,panel was wrong and we should go with the new simple-vga-dac driver proposed by Maxime Ripard and currently being reviewed.
The da850-lcdk board on which I'm working has a THS8135 video DAC for which the new driver seems to be best suited and we'll be able to query the connected display for supported modes instead of hardcoding them in the dt as is needed for the panel driver.
In the meantime I'm posting two patches based on Karl Beldan's previous work that can already be merged.
The first one adds OF_DEV_AUXDATA entry to da8xx-dt.c. I changed the compatible string to the new one we're introducing in the tilcdc driver.
The second adds the lcd pins and the display node to da850.dtsi. As suggested by Sekhar: I moved the pins node, which was previously in da850-lcdk.dts, to da850.dtsi. I also squashed Karl's two patches and removed the panel node.
Tested on a da850-lcdk with an LCD display connected over VGA with two patches already posted to the drm mailing list:
drm: tilcdc: add a da850-specific compatible string drm: tilcdc: add a workaround for failed clk_set_rate()
and some additional work-in-progress/hacks on top of that.

Actually I don't think that's correct. The LCDC on da850 is not compatible with the LCDC on AM335x. I think it should be just "ti,da850-tilcdc".

DA850 uses revision 1 of the IP while am33xx is equipped with rev 2. The driver reads the appropriate register, detects the revision and sets the corresponding field in struct tilcdc_drm_private in tilcdc_load().

AM3 has "version 2" of LCDC, whereas DA850 is v1. They are quite similar, but different.
The driver gets the version number from LCDC's register, and acts based on that, so afaik the compatible string doesn't really affect the functionality (as long as it matches).
But even if it works with the current driver, I don't think "ti,am33xx-tilcdc" and "ti,da850-tilcdc" are compatible in the HW level.

Maybe, and I agree that's the "correct" way, but looking at the history, it's not just once or twice when we've suddenly found out some difference or bug or such in an IP revision, or the integration to a SoC, that can't be found based on the IP revision.
That's why I feel it's usually safer to have the SoC revision there in the compatible string.
That said, we have only a few different old SoCs with LCDC (compared to, say, OMAP DSS) so in this case perhaps just "ti,lcdc" would be fine.

You obviously know more than I do on this topic so I'll trust your opinion. If the version register isn't enough I'm fine with multiple compatible strings.

I agree with Tomi here. Lets keep the soc part number in the compatible string. More often than not, some undocumented, undiscovered issue pops up over time. Its much safer to have the SoC revision in there.
That said, we have only a few different old SoCs with LCDC (compared to, say, OMAP DSS) so in this case perhaps just "ti,lcdc" would be fine.

I Sekhar is ok with this, I'll send a follow-up patch for that.
Per me, compatible property is an ordered list precisely for the reason that things should continue to "work" with as closely matched driver as possible. So even if someone is running a kernel which does not recognize "ti,da850-tilcdc", it should still be able to probe the driver based on "ti,am33xx-tilcdc" and provide as close to full functionality as possible.
That said, I will not insist on keeping it around if Tomi is uncomfortable. And having read the binding documentation accepted by Jyri, it actually says the compatible property should be __one of__ "ti,am33xx-tilcdc" or "ti,da850-tilcdc".
Thanks, Sekhar

Well, they are just not compatible as far as I know. If the LCDC on DA850 would be identified as AM335x LCDC, and used as such, it would not work at all. They have different registers, AM335x LCDC has registers that do not exist on DA850.
With our driver it happens to work, because the driver looks at the IP revision in the registers, and then decides that this IP is not AM335x LCDC even if the dts says so. But I see that as a driver "feature", nothing that the .dts can depend on.
Perhaps it might work the other way around, using DA850 driver on AM335x, as DA850 LCDC is a kind of subset of AM335x LCDC. But I'm not sure even about that.

Alright, thanks for the detailed explanation. I dropped the "ti,am33xx- tilcdc" from the list and here is the updated patch I am queuing for reference.
Thanks, Sekhar

ARM: dts: da850: add a node for the LCD controller
Add pins used by the LCD controller and a disabled LCDC node to be reused in device trees including da850.dtsi.

After discussing the matter with Laurent Pinchart it turned out that using ti,tilcdc,panel was wrong and we should go with the new simple-vga-dac driver proposed by Maxime Ripard and currently being reviewed.
The da850-lcdk board on which I'm working has a THS8135 video DAC for which the new driver seems to be best suited and we'll be able to query the connected display for supported modes instead of hardcoding them in the dt as is needed for the panel driver.
I meant to point to these new changes but then it slipped my mind, it is clearly the way to go.

In the meantime I'm posting two patches based on Karl Beldan's previous work that can already be merged.
The first one adds OF_DEV_AUXDATA entry to da8xx-dt.c. I changed the compatible string to the new one we're introducing in the tilcdc driver.
The second adds the lcd pins and the display node to da850.dtsi. As suggested by Sekhar: I moved the pins node, which was previously in da850-lcdk.dts, to da850.dtsi. I also squashed Karl's two patches and removed the panel node.
Tested on a da850-lcdk with an LCD display connected over VGA with two patches already posted to the drm mailing list:
drm: tilcdc: add a da850-specific compatible string drm: tilcdc: add a workaround for failed clk_set_rate()
and some additional work-in-progress/hacks on top of that.
