But I still don't know which compatible string I should use, "simple-dpi" ?

Yes it is.

Would it appear as a frame buffer device in Linux ? Regard of display timings, I could solve it later. If the frame buffer node is created, I could know I have a way to test.

It is a very old kernel. But it seems that they didn't configure the fimd but the frame buffer.

But timings diagram in data sheet doesn't look like that, I have asked the vendor for some help, I hope I could get a reply from the vendor.
