Add a DRM driver for SSD1305, SSD1306, SSD1307 and SSD1309 Solomon OLED controllers that can be programmed via an I2C interface. This is a port of the ssd1307fb driver that already supports these devices.
A Device Tree binding is not added because the DRM driver is compatible with the existing binding for the ssd1307fb driver.

Can we logically separate hw protocol vs hw interface from day 1, please? This will allow to add SPI support for this panel much easier.
Technically I would like to see here
struct device *dev;
and probably (I haven't looked into design)
struct ssd130x_ops *ops;
or something alike.
Sure. I wanted to keep the driver simple, making the writes bus agnostic and adding a level of indirection would make it more complex. But I agree that it will also make easier to add more buses later. I will do that for v3.

Not sure inline does anything useful here. Ditto for the rest similar cases.
Ok, I'll drop them.

I'm wondering if this can be written in a form
do { ... } while (--count);
In this case it will give a hint that count can't be 0.
Sure, I don't have a strong preference. I will change it.

"device tree" is a bit confusing here if I run this on ACPI. Maybe something like "firmware description"?
Indeed.

Creating a local variable for client allows to:
- make lines shorter and might even be less LOCs
- allow to convert struct device to client in one place (as per my above comment)
Ditto for other similar cases.
Ok.

Can it be

Yes.
- unsigned int line_length = DIV_ROUND_UP(width, 8);
- unsigned int pages = DIV_ROUND_UP(height, 8);
For power of two there are more efficient roundup()/rounddown() (or with _ in the names, I don't remember by heart).
Oh, I didn't know about round_{up,down}(). Thanks a lot for the pointer.

Yes.

I don't know, but saw that the handler of other drivers checked for this so preferred to play safe and do the same.

Positive code, what is the meaning of it?
It's the number of connector modes. The driver only supports 1.

You can drop conditionals for the optional properties
ssd130x->prechargep2 = 2; device_property_read_u32(dev, "solomon,prechargep2", &ssd130x->prechargep2);
and so on for the similar.
Ok.

Why not
return dev_err_probe()?
Each time you call it for deferred probe, it will spam logs.
Right. I'll change in all the places you pointed out.
