Since panel is RGB it should have no initialization sequence (beside regulator/gpio power on/off), so the only thing to do is to figure out which regulators/gpios belongs to which component - with publicly available specs it should be doable. The whole initialization sequence is for the bridge, so you put it into bridge driver, for starters it can be hardcoded. Then you can: 1. Try to find other users of this ICN6211 chip and compare initialization sequences to guess purpose of registers. 2. Try to get specs of the chip (ask vendor, distributor, grep Internet). 3. Do nothing - if there will be other users of the bridge they will do this work.
