It is not possible to disable this, I've asked vendor and they confirmed this [1]. The only workaround I could implement now is to switch it to 16-bit RGB565 and perform framebuffer conversions in driver, similar to what rm_fb_xrgb8888_to_rgb565() alike helpers do; but it would be still great to understand whether it is possible to support sRGB.
