Hi Noralf,

thank you for your comments. I've incorporated your suggestions into my draft.

	I allowed for these to be overridden in case there is some panel that's not listed on the mfg's (quite chaotic) website. Looking at this some more I think I'll remove some of these though.

I'll leave vds-external/vgs-external since they depend on circuitry around the panel and thus should be in DT. boost-soft-start is largely undocumented and I don't know what they might be useful for, but I feel it could depend on the booster inductors and voltage regulator connected to the panel, so it should be in DT.

Those ending up in the refresh params struct are refresh-related and thus application-specific. Most of these come with probably sane defaults, so to initialize a display at a minimum you only need either the type (compatible=gdew...) or the dimensions (px, mm) and color scheme.

Thank you. I found an almost identical solution.
