So in this case would my compatible string in the devicetree need to
be something like "anbernic,rg353-panel", "newvision,nv3051d" then?
And the module itself have the compatible string of "newvision,nv3051d"?

My fear is that I write this as a newvision,nv3051d kernel module
and then later on there comes a new panel using the nv3051d that wants
to use this too. Again keeping things confusing I have no LCD panel
part number from the manufacturer for this, and I cannot see anything
on the panel itself denoting what LCD it is.

Thank you for your help. Just wrapping up getting some of my favorite
devices supported in mainline. :-)
