Hi David,

Thank you for the patch.

This adds a new binding for Sitronix ST7586 display panels.

Using lego as the vendor prefix in the compatible string because the display panel I am working with is an integral part of the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3.

• - present: IF=011 4-wire 8-bit data serial interface
  

• - absent:  IF=010 3-wire 9-bit data serial interface
  

How does this work ? Do you have a single GPIO on your system connected to IF[1], with IF[3:2] hardwired to 01 ?

+- reset-gpios: Reset pin +- power-supply: A regulator node for the supply voltage. +- backlight: phandle of the backlight device attached to the panel +- rotation: panel rotation in degrees counter clockwise (0,90,180,270)

Please use the OF graph DT bindings (a.k.a. ports) to describe the connection between the panel and its source.

This display has a controller with onboard memory that is scanned out to the panel. The controller is connected, in this instance, through SPI. Both initialization and pixel data is transferred over SPI. It resembles the MIPI DCS/DBI standard except that it misses some of the commands and has non standard formats: 2-bit greyscale and monochrome. MIPI DBI only supports rgb formats (3, 8, 12, 16 and 18-bits). So it isn't a drm panel in the sense as one connected through MIPI DSI or MIPI DPI.

MIPI DBI has 3 interface types: - 8/9/16/18 bit parallel bus + Data/Command signal (8080 or motorola bus) - 8/16 bit SPI + D/C signal - 9 bit SPI (D/C as first bit)
