FWIW, this is still missing acting on a request that Krzysztof made.
Specifically, instead of the above wordy patch description, he
suggested a much simpler patch description that was just one sentence.
I could believe his suggestion may be difficult to understand if your
English isn't strong. He said [1]:

Putting that more concretely, you'd want to change your patch
description in this case to:

Add a new compatible for the panels KINGDISPLAY KD110N11-51IE and
STARRY 2082109QFH040022-50E.

...and that's it.

Personally I wouldn't send a V5 just for this, but if Krzysztof
requests it strongly then I wouldn't object.

That all being said, the part of the CL description that Krzysztof
wants you to trim is actually somewhat relevant to me if I am to give
a Reviewed-By tag. The agreement from DRM folks seemed to be that we
don't want to jam all MIPI panels into one bindings file and one
driver. The idea is that they should be organized by the controller
chip. For some history here, see [2] and all of the discussion in
response to a previous patch [3].

So the question is: do the new panels you're adding actually share the
same onboard MIPI controller as the other ones in this file? If not
then you _do_ need to spin your patch. If there's already some other
bindings file / driver for the MIPI controller in these panels then
you can add to that. If not then you'd need to add a new bindings file
and a new driver.
