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.
Is this display available outside of this Lego part?
No, it is not.
If not you can remove the properties you don't need for this particular
display setup. Another st7586 display with a different panel would need
a different initialization sequence and compatible string, so we can
add properties when/if that happens.
OK. so I will drop power-supply and backlight.
And the dc/reset gpios should be required properties since your display
won't work without them (or rather they're hardwired that way).
Should I remove these from the driver as well? There are some panels
out there that could use them.[1]

Yes, because that display won't work with the driver as-is, so it's
really dead code. If someone wants to add support for that display,
they'll add the necessary code. When maintaining code for 10-20 years,
it's important to not add code that 'might' be used in the future.
Let the future take care of itself and keep the codebase slim :-)

+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
+- 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)
+
+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>;
+ };
