I mean add starry_himax83102_j02, boe_nv110wum and ivo_t109nw41
together to make a separate driver and break out boe-tv101wum-nl6 ,
because they belong to the same controller.

As Doug said ：
“I'm just guessing, but if those are the same controller as
the two new ones you're adding in this series, maybe all
3 of them should be in their own driver? Maybe we can do something to
make more sense of some of these commands too? ”


Thanks.
