Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/panel: add Ilitek ILI7836A panel driver
Date: Sat, 08 Aug 2026 14:01:15 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808-ili7836a-v1-2-07a7becc5636@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260808-ili7836a-v1-0-07a7becc5636@gmail.com>

From: Aaron Kling <webgeek1234@gmail.com>

This is a DDIC which can be used in various panels. The first
supported panel is the one used in the Retroid Pocket Nova.
