Not much. S6E63M0 uses "spi" as it is right now and is not using the existing DBI code.
So it would require it to start using the DBI core to begin with. If it can. Which is kind of an orthogonal task.
What would be the defining character for it to be "DBI"? I do see that the driver sends MIPI standard commands over SPI. I suspect this is another standard without public specs...
Seems that two different approcahes are used for the same type of problem.
This approach is based on the approach from IIO, se e.g.: drivers/iio/accel/bmc150-accel-core.c drivers/iio/accel/bmc150-accel.h drivers/iio/accel/bmc150-accel-i2c.c drivers/iio/accel/bmc150-accel-spi.c
Is it possible to find a common solution?
I'm happy to rework it any direction. If the other patch set is going to take time to finalize (as in: will not merge it the coming week, need to hack and stuff) then I'd prefer to apply this so I know my display works in v5.10. I can certainly rework it into Paul's framework when that arrives.
