It's a Novatek NT36523 display controller-based device isn't it?

I would reflect that in the title or at least the description.

This is clearly (as can be seen from the magic in the driver) a
Novatek NT36523 display controller, just configured differently.

Why can't you just modify the existing nt36523 binding from
Jianhua Lu by e.g. making these two non-required:

 - vddpos-supply
 - vddneg-supply

It would not be helpful for driver writers to have two different bindings
for similar hardware hand having to write code to handle different
properties depending on which binding is used, so please unify into
one binding by cooperating with Jianhua.

Would it help if we merged Jianhua's binding so you can build on top?

Yours,
