Ok, I see now. I thought it array was for initializing the registers and
caching the contents as some other drivers do it, but it's really used
for some indirect addressing method.

Just guessing what the right behavior would be, maybe something like
this? That would assume that the LCD_MISC_CNTL is accessible
through LCD_INDEX/LCD_DATA but not through a direct register.
