Still hoping that this can work atop DBI so we can avoid the raw SPI writes. You said you're trying for it for v3 so I'm looking forward to checking it out there.
Struggling with this. The DBI bus is only used by tiny DRM for the panel drivers that are jitted with that display controller ATM. No normal panel driver is using it.
panel-simple also sets the bpc in the "display_info". Do you need to?
I didn't see a reply, so I'm still curious about the answer.
I think it depends on whether the display controller/bridge actually make use of this or not. It is implied from the MEDIA_BUS_FMT* in practice and this controller (MCDE) only had settings for BPP, no fine grained bits to fiddle for BPC.
But I added it for completeness, why not! Who knows who else will come along. I think I should patch a few other drivers with this as well.
