I don't mean we should do that. What I mean is: - Name the driver after the controller, if we know which one it is, such as panel-novatek-nt35510.c - Provide identifications of the controller+panel combo in e.g. DT compatible strings, provide init data as arrays in the per-variant match data (or similar for ACPI).
