IIRC, the original intention here is that functions/structs with the
jd_t18003_t01_ prefix are specific to the panel, not the controller.
E.g. things like power settings and gamma curves.

The idea is that it is much easier to write and understand the init sequence
as a function rather than trying to make a generic function that can parse
a any possible init sequence from a data structure.

This new panel really has all of the same settings as the existing one?

Having a separate pipe enable function for the new panel would also eliminate
the need for the extra private rgb data.
