Hi Icenowy!

Thanks for your patch.

It appears that the Himax HX8363 is using the same display controller
if you look at the datasheet:
http://www.datasheet-pdf.com/PDF/HX8369-A-Datasheet-Himax-729024
There you find an explanation to some of the commands.

People are trying to add support for this panel too:
https://discuss.96boards.org/t/adding-support-to-himax-hx8363-panel/9068

The set-up values etc for the Himax display will be widely
different because it is using the same display controller
for a display of 480x800(854) pixels.

You should definately insert code to read the MTP bytes:
0xDA manufacturer
0xDB driver version
0xDC LCD module/driver
And print these, se e.g. my newly added NT35510 driver or
the Sony ACX424AKP driver.

Nobody seems to have any documentation of these MTP
ID bytes but they are certainly consistent among
e.g Ilitek or Novatek display drivers.

I do not think that either Xingbangda or Himax have made
this display controller. The number of advanced display
controller vendors in the world is actually pretty limited.
Ilitek, Novatek or TPO make most of them.

It is a bit of a problem for the development world that
display manufacturers hide the details of which display
controller they actually use, because we can't have
2 different drivers for the same display controller just
because Himax and Xingbada package it up with
their own branding.

This actually looks very much like an Ilitek display controller.
Some commands are clearly identical to Ilitek ILI9342:
http://www.ampdisplay.com/documents/pdf/ILI9342_DS_V008_20100331.pdf

I would:

1. Try to determine what the actual display controller
  is. I think it is some Ilitek.

2. Write a panel-ilitek-ili9342.c (if that is the actual controller)
  and parameterize it for this display controller the same
  way we do in e.g. panel-novatek-nt35510.c or
  panel-ilitek-ili9322.c, so you use the compatible string
  to set up the actual per-display settings for this display
  controller.

Already just using the HX8363 datasheet you can turn this into
something much more readable akin to how the NT35510 driver
is done.

I think this vrefresh is going away soon.

All of this as well as some of the initialization
sequences should be per-variant data. (Switched by
the compatible).
