I can't tell you anything there that I don't know, sorry.

Right, the register names seem to match more or less the ones from that
driver, plus some new ones and some differently named ones. Will send a
v3 with that.

In that datasheet (assuming I'm looking at the same one?) it says
"Driver IC" "HX8290-A[...]" so there the display driver is manufactured
by Himax and not Truly to my understanding. Truly is assembling together
Driver + all the other parts that go into an LCD.

For the panel used on Fairphone 4 that part is done by the company DJN.
