This adds a new binding for Ilitek ILI9341 display panels. It includes
a compatible string for one display (more can be added in the future).

The vendor prefix "noname" is used because the vendor is not known.
The YX240QV29-T panel[1] is found, for example, in an Adafruit breakout
board[2] and in Mindsensors' PiStorms[3].

+Ilitek ILI9341 display panels
+
+This binding is for display panels using an Ilitek ILI9341 controller in SPI
+mode.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:    "noname,yx240qv29", "ilitek,ili9341"

Calling a vendor 'noname' looks a bit odd and AFAICT it isn't used by
any other binding. A google search always mentions Adafruit in
connection with this panel, so I suggest we use Adafruit as vendor.

I was hoping that someone might know the correct vendor, but barring that,
I agree that adafruit is probably the best choice.


I don't think we should use "ilitek,ili9341" as an option/fallback,
because panels varies in resolution (rarely) and initialization. A
generic ili9341 driver would probably not work with a random new panel.

I'm just following the precedent set in the other bindings for similar
displays that I have already done.

I agree that it is probably not super-useful as a fallback. On the other
hand, the vendors and models for these displays are pretty obscure and
I think having the more well-known controller name _somewhere_ is useful.



+- dc-gpios:    D/C pin
+- reset-gpios:    Reset pin
+
+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:
+- rotation:    panel rotation in degrees counter clockwise (0,90,180,270)
+- backlight:    phandle of the backlight device attached to the panel

You forgot to mention the regulator that you support in the driver.

Noralf.

+
+Example:
+    display@0{
+        compatible = "noname,yx240qv29", "ilitek,ili9341";
+        reg = <0>;
+        spi-max-frequency = <32000000>;
+        dc-gpios = <&gpio0 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+        reset-gpios = <&gpio0 8 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+        rotation = <270>;
+        backlight = <&backlight>;
+    };
