Why would you do a separate driver per panel despite they have
the same display controller? I don't get it.

Use one driver, use different compatible strings for the different
panels and use the corresponding sequence for each panel
selected by compatible string.

For example, see drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-novatek-nt35510.c:

static const struct of_device_id nt35510_of_match[] = {
        {
                .compatible = "frida,frd400b25025",
                .data = &nt35510_frida_frd400b25025,
        },
        {
                .compatible = "hydis,hva40wv1",
                .data = &nt35510_hydis_hva40wv1,
        },
        { }
};


Take some inspiration from this driver and how we parameterize
the different data depending on compatible string.
