Typo here, should be ili9488.

If these format conversions helpers are really needed, they need to be
added as helpers to drivers/gpu/drm/drm_format_helper.c instead.

This will cause an extra copy even when CMA isn't used. Please take a look
how the format helpers do this. You should pass a struct iosys_map param
and internally use the drm_fb_xfrm() helper that would handle both the I/O
mem and system memory cases.

If you rebase on top of the "[PATCH 0/5] drm: Add new plane helpers to
begin/end FB access" series then an explicit CPU access to GEM BOs sync
isn't needed anymore:

This is the biggest issue I see with this driver. The exported format is
RGB565 but RGB666 is used. I believe the policy is for the driver to expose
the native format to user-space.
I know that there isn't a DRM_FORMAT_RGB666 in neither DRM nor mesa, but
still I think that adding it should be part of this series. If you also
want to expose DRM_FORMAT_RGB565 for compatibility reasons, then I guess
that's OK but as mentioned the format helpers need to be in the DRM core.

This looks very similar, if not the same than the mipi_dbi_fb_dirty() helper.

And same for this, it's basically mipi_dbi_pipe_update() if you end using the
mipi_dbi_fb_dirty() helper instead of a custom ili9488_fb_dirty() handler.

I see that most MIPI DBI drivers use this function to merge all the damage clips
into a big rectangle. Is there a reason why this is done in this way rather than
just iterating over all the damage areas and update them one by one?
Since for example there are multiple damage clips that aren't close to each other,
the resulting rectangle could be quite big.

Do you really need CMA for this? Can't you just use DEFINE_DRM_GEM_FOPS() instead?

Do you really need to make the compatible that specific? I would just have an entry
for "ilitek,ili9488".

The fact that this doesn't match the OF compatible string would break module auto
loading. Because the SPI core doesn't report an OF module alias, but always a SPI
alias regardless whether the device was registered using Device Trees or not.

You could use dev_err_probe() instead. And same in other places.

I believe drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() isn't needed here since is done already
in ili9488_shutdown().
