Hi Noralf

Thanks for your time to review my patch.

There is no reason to create two drivers to support the same display.

To support only-dbi and dbi+dpi panel at drm/panel or drm/tiny both
fine with me.

Yes, I'd like to merge the code from drm/tiny/ili9341.c to this driver
(to make a single driver to support different bus).

I have two purpose to extend the feature drm/tiny/ili9341.c

- keep compatible = "adafruit,yx240qv29", add bus mode dts bindings (panel_bus)
  to define the interface which host wants to use. such as
panel_bus="dbi" or "rgb"
  or "i80" for this case, i will add dpi code to drm/tiny/ili9341.c.

- merge tiny/ili9341.c to this driver,remove drm/tiny/ili9341.c, add
new dts compatible
  string to support other interfaces. just like what i'm doing now.

I have no idea about your plan on drm/tiny drivers, actually some of
these panels under
the diny folder can support both dbi and dbi+dpi (much faster, need
more pins). no
doubt the requirement to support dpi is always there.

What is your preference?

Thanks & Regards
Dillon
