Why would you do a separate driver per panel despite they have
the same display controller? I don't get it.
Use one driver, use different compatible strings for the different
panels and use the corresponding sequence for each panel
selected by compatible string.
For example, see drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-novatek-nt35510.c:
static const struct of_device_id nt35510_of_match[] = {
{
.compatible = "frida,frd400b25025",
.data = &nt35510_frida_frd400b25025,
},
{
.compatible = "hydis,hva40wv1",
.data = &nt35510_hydis_hva40wv1,
},
{ }
};
Take some inspiration from this driver and how we parameterize
the different data depending on compatible string.
Yours,
Linus Walleij
