No problem. I also wondered why this has been done. If I understood Tomi right, the userspace team feared, that their software would not work with 864, since it was originally written for 854.
Anyways I'm pretty sure, that the first 5 pixels are unusable from the users point of view.

Assuming the non-developer edition can use the full display it can be "unlocked" with my proposed DT bindings by slight modifications. I guess there exist just a couple of those, so maybe we just ignore it for the mainline kernel?
