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.

+Sitronix ST7586 display panel
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:  "lego,ev3-lcd".
+
+The node for this driver must be a child node of a SPI controller, hence
+all mandatory properties described in ../spi/spi-bus.txt must be specified.
+
+Optional properties:
+- dc-gpios:    D/C pin. The presence/absence of this GPIO determines
+               the panel interface operation mode (IF[3:1] pins):
+               - 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 ?

LEGO has not made the internals of the display publicly available, so I cannot say for sure. But I assume that IF[3:1] is hardwired to 011. This causes pin D1 to assigned to the signal A0, which is what we are calling the dc gpio here.

If IF[3:1] were hardwired to 010, then pin D1 would be not not used and there would be no A0 signal.

So, basically, we can infer the state of IF[3:1] by the fact that we have a dc pin or not.


+- 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.

I am afraid that I do not understand this request. What would the source of the panel be? There is nothing like a SoC LCD controller that is driving this panel.


+Example:
+       display@0{
+               compatible = "lego,ev3-lcd";
+               reg = <0>;
+               spi-max-frequency = <10000000>;
+               dc-gpios = <&gpio 43 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+               reset-gpios = <&gpio 80 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+       };
