Add driver for the winstar wg160160 display.
The driver utilises pardata-dbi that
again utilise the pardata subsystem.

If this controller has normal registers, you could do a regmap
implementation for pardata: drivers/base/regmap.
If I understand you correct then you suggest to add a regmap implementation
on top of the registers replacing the current gpio support?
So we in regmap can optimize access to the registers better.
Or did you have something else in mind?
I was thinking of a regmap-pardata.c like drivers/base/regmap/regmap-i2c.c.
It's not much code an we would avoid having generic register access
functions in DRM. It's not about speed or caching, but just to try and
put code where it logically belongs.
Here is one experiment where I have created a regmap on a 8080 bus:
https://github.com/notro/tinydrm/blob/master/tinydrm-regmap.c
Used here: https://github.com/notro/tinydrm/blob/master/fb_ili9325.c
I don't advocate this particular approach, I mention it just as an
example of using regmap in a tinydrm driver.
Noralf.
As speed is not the main challenge here I will likely wait with this
and continue using gpio.
