+ * @num_modes: Number of elements in modes array.
+ * @timings: Pointer to array of display timings.  NOTE: cannot be used with
+ *           "modes" and also these will be used to validate a device tree
+ *           override if one is present.
+ * @num_timings: Number of elements in timings array.
