Heh, I wonder how it comes that it is so similar to Ilitek.
I guess I will never understand how the silicon ecosystem works
in asia (I did read a lot of Bunnie Huang's articles and hardware
hacking book to try to understand...)

This file should be named sitronix,st7703.yaml then.

According to the code in the Librem 5:
https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/blob/imx8-current-librem5/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-sitronix-st7701.c
The actual name of the display is Techstar ts8550b.
And the display controller is st7701, so maybe we should
actually name it sitronix,st770x.yaml if there are some
sub-variants of st770x?

This should at least be:

compatible:
   items:
     - enum:
       - xingbangda,xbd599
       - himax,hx8363
       - techstar,ts8550b
     - enum:
       - sitronix,st7701
       - sitronix,st7703

So panel nodes using this panel become
compatible = "xingbangda,sbd599", "sitronix,st7703"
etc.

This way it is straight-forward for drivers to identify the panel
vendor and display controller.

Yours,
