Normally, we the physical panel is described which would imply all these 
settings. Are there lots of panels with this controller that would 
justify all these settings?

To some extent, we have some standard bindings to describe this.

The datasheet for the ili9322 just says it "drives panels" essentially.
Googling around gives at hand that it is used pretty frequently in
Shenzhen China for adapting different off-the-shelf panels to
different inputs.

I can't really answer how many of these products that run one or
another OS using device tree to describe the configuration. It feels more
like I'm paving the road for others to travel.

Probably other Ilitek panel adapters will need something similar.

I don't find any. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places :(

These are closest associated with the DRM "media bus formats"
in Linux include/uapi/linux/media-bus-format.h
such as:

#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB444_1X12               0x1016
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB444_2X8_PADHI_BE       0x1001
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB444_2X8_PADHI_LE       0x1002
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB555_2X8_PADHI_BE       0x1003
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB555_2X8_PADHI_LE       0x1004
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_1X16               0x1017
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_BGR565_2X8_BE             0x1005
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_BGR565_2X8_LE             0x1006
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_2X8_BE             0x1007
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_2X8_LE             0x1008
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB666_1X18               0x1009
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RBG888_1X24               0x100e
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB666_1X24_CPADHI        0x1015
#define MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB666_1X7X3_SPWG         0x1010
(...)

We can surely regard this bus format list as standard and
copy and extend it in DT (it does not have ITU-R formats for
the moment) but I don't know if that is wise.

Also the input modes of ili9322 is coupled with resolution so
it would need two more cells or so for resolution so I feel
it would over-complicate things for these 12 enumerators.

Can we proceed with these patches?

Any opinion from DT or panel maintainers?

I guess bus-width is all we have. Normally, this is all implied by the
compatible strings of either the controller, panel or both.

Another way to look at it is, we already have support for lots of
panels and controllers. If those haven't needed to specify this
information, then why do you?

You have my opinion. I don't think Thierry's will be different.

My suggestion is to move the settings you need into the panel driver
and out of DT. We can always move things to DT later if it makes
sense.

It's good when maintainers say "no"! :)

It's a question about devicetree vs driver configuration data altogether.
An intuitive thing, gray area. Your intuition is likely better.

I feel the same about the people who push too much pin control
data into the device tree instead of the driver so I understand the
issue. (If it is that.)

Sure thing. I will take the approach of compatible string like this:

compatible = "ilitek,ili9322", "dlink,dir685-panel";

And use the latter compatible to set up all the stuff in the panel
driver, what about that?

Only other maintainers think so. :)

Yes, that's it. We don't want bindings that try to parameterize
*everything* in "generic" bindings.

Sounds good, but you need to reverse the order here. Most specific first.

+Ilitek ILI9322 TFT panel driver with SPI control bus
+
+This is a driver for 320x240 TFT panels, accepting a variety of input
+streams that get adapted and scaled to the panel. The panel output has
+960 TFT source driver pins and 240 TFT gate driver pins, VCOM, VCOML and
+VCOMH outputs.
+
+Required properties:
+  - compatible: "ilitek,ili9322"
+  - reg: address of the panel on the SPI bus
+
+Optional properties:
+  - width-mm: physical panel width [mm]
+  - height-mm: physical panel height [mm]
+  - vcc-supply: core voltage supply, see regulator/regulator.txt
+  - iovcc-supply: voltage supply for the interface input/output signals,

+  - ilitek,vreg1out-microvolt: the output in microvolts for the VREGOUT1
+    regulator used to drive the physical display. Valid ranges are 3600 thru

+    peak-to-peak amplitude of the communcation signals to the physical display.
+    Valid ranges are 70 thru 132 percent in increments if two percent. Odd
+    percentages will be truncated. If not specified, hardware defaults will be
+    used (114%).
+  - ilitek,vcom-high-percent: the percentage of VREGOUT1 used for the peak
