Hm, indeed usually this would mean no need for unusable fallback alone,
but still drivers could use it for some common pieces of code. I imagine
there could be a piece of init sequence which is generic. Or some piece
of attributes.
We already have examples of both approaches for panels - with generic
fallback (himax,hx83102) and without (himax,hx83112a).
@Rob
what is your generic advice? Which of above (himax,hx83102 vs
himax,hx83112a) should be used, if the fallback compatible cannot be
used alone?
Best regards,
Krzysztof
