Ok, missed that both weren't in the same macro.

Not really, the fbdev driver used it and I understood that was
a convention to denote that these are command options and not a
command or register. I'll drop them.

It's a correct explanation IMO from the caller point of view. The first argument
is the command sent (i.e: SSD130X_SET_ADDRESS_MODE) and the next ones are the
the command options (i.e: SSD130X_SET_ADDRESS_MODE_HORIZONTAL).

The fact that each command and options are preceding with a SSD130X_COMMAND
value is part of the protocol of the device and a detail that's abstracted
away by this helper function to the callers.

Ok, I'll drop it.

Indeed, that was a left over when changing this to use the macros.

Not sure I'm following since it depends on the for loop iterator value.

No, because this function's return value is a struct ssd130x_device pointer,
not a struct backlight_device pointer.
