Hi Greg,
Sorry I didn't realize you replied. I gave up on these drivers because
I read around and saw that these drivers are unlikely to ever be merged
properly into the mainline kernel, while they use this deprecated
framework:
https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki/Development
I know you were involved in some of these conversations:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/23/146
My main reason for helping with this, was so my rpi3 display would
"just work" on future distro's I installed. I'd struggle to port to
this new framework as I have no experience with drivers.
