A lot of modifications to st7701 are required. I believe it would
result in a driver that doesn't look or work the same. e.g compare
delays between initialization sequences of panel-fannal-c3004 and
panel-st7701. I think it would be optimal to create st7701s driver and
have special handling for st7701s panels. If there was a flag for
whether panel is st7701 or st7701s it would end up looking like a
mess.
What matters is if the original authors of the old st7701 driver are
around and reviewing and testing patches at all. What we need is
active maintainers. (Added Jagan, Marek & Maya).
I buy the reasoning that the st7701s is perhaps substantially different
from st7701.
If st7701s is very different then I suppose it needs a separate driver,
then all we need to to name the driver properly, i.e.
panel-sitronix-st7701s.c.
I had in person talk with Paul Kocialkowski and I have concluded that
this is the best solution.
I believe I should rename it to st7701s due to the hardware changes. I
would like to create V5 patch with driver renamed to st7701s.
Please let me know if you agree / disagree.
If I recall it right, the ST7701 and ST7701S are basically the same
chip, aren't they ?
