Hi,

This patchset adds a driver that will work with most MIPI DBI compatible
SPI panels out there.

It's a follow up on 'drm/tiny/st7735r: Match up with staging/fbtft
driver'[1] which aimed at making the st7735r driver work with all panels
adding DT properties.

Maxime gave[2] a good overview of the situation with these displays and
proposed to make a driver that works with all MIPI DBI compatible
controllers and use a firmware file to provide the controller setup for
a particular panel.

Main change since previous version:
- Drop model property and use the compatible property instead (Rob)

Noralf.

It would be useful to also include a patch for a tool to create
these "firmware" files. For example a Python script that takes
a more human-readable input and generates a .bin file.

I will put a script on the github repo that holds the wiki for the
driver. I haven't made the script yet, just using a hack for now until
the format is decided upon.
