Without trying it I think that aswell ;)

Should be like:

panel: panel {
	compatible = "ampire,am800480r3tmqwa1h", "simple-panel";
	enable-gpios = <&gpio2 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
	backlight = <&backlight>;

	port {
		panel_in: endpoint {
			remote-endpoint = <&lvds0_out>;
		};
	};
};

&ldb {
	pinctrl-names = "default";
	pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_lvds0>;
	status = "okay";

	lvds-channel@0 {
		status = "okay";
		fsl,data-mapping = "jeida";
		fsl,data-width = <24>;

		port@1 {
			reg = <1>;

			lvds0_out: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&panel_in>;
			};
		};
	};
};

Copied from arch/arm/dts/imx53-guf-vincell.dts.

Anyway, I don't think it's necessary to break the old binding and for
sure we should not segfault. I'll have a look into this.
