This stuff is really hard or impossible to understand without the
datasheet.

In my previous review I wrote:

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.

That means, try to get rid of as much of the magic bytes as you can
and use proper #defines. I know it takes some work but the result
is so much more useful and readable.

Further I wrote:

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.

So please do that.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
