Hi Paul.
Good to see work migrating fbdev => drm.
Following comments is based on experience while working on migrating
another driver from fbdev => drm.

The fbdev way of doing this was to hardcode register setttings.
In the drm world we read the configuration of the panel and let
this decide the actual configuration.
Note that no drm drivers supports stn displays and that there
is really no use for this these days. So you can skip the STN parts.
STN panels aren't really my problem; but I have a board with a Sharp
LS020B1DD01D panel, which requires the LCD IP to be configured for a
"special 2" panel. I also have a board with a "smart" panel (ili9331)
that needs a special configuration in the IP. There is nothing in
the drm_panel interface that tells me what mode I should use for what
panel...
Also the modern way to specify a panel in the DT is using OF graph
bindings.
You can find many examples how to do this.
Ok, I was looking at the Tegra driver, which uses a "nvidia,panel" DT
property. I will change it to use the graph thing.
I was there with the atmel LCDC driver (not in the kernel yet),
and had some challenges with this.

Thanks,
