Can you explain why tinydrm is not putting its panel drivers in drivers/gpu/drm/panel?
I guess everybody knows except me, it's usually like that :(
I am anyways working on a driver for Ilitek 9322 that I want to land in drivers/gpu/drm/panel. Here is the last iteration: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-August/150205.html Yeah I got sidetracked. OK I will get to it now.
There are some similarities with the code I'm seeing here but I believe they are essentially different. But it will be hard to share code if you put the driver in the tinydrm framework.
I guess you have also seen: drivers/video/backlight/ili922x.c ?
Stefano Babic who wrote the backlight driver is available for reviewing, so includ him in follow-ups (added to To: line).
I'm putting you on CC as I'm rewriting it a bit after the DT maintainers review, will try to repost ASAP.
Yours, Linus Walleij
