[PATCH 0/2] drm/panel: add Ilitek ILI7836A panel driver

[Aaron Kling via B4 Relay]

Add support for the Ilitek ILI7836A DDIC.

This depends on the Retroid Pocket dt series [0] for the vendor prefix
patch. That series depends on the AYN dt series [1] to apply cleanly.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] The vendor prefix `retroidpocket` used in the new compatible string is not documented in `vendor-prefixes.yaml`.

Author: Aaron Kling <webgeek1234@gmail.com>

dt-bindings: display: panel: add Ilitek ILI7836A OLED driver
    
This commit introduces a new device tree binding for the Ilitek ILI7836A
OLED driver. It documents the properties and compatible strings required 
for the MIPI-DSI display used on the Retroid Pocket Nova.

[Severity: Low]
Is the retroidpocket vendor prefix documented in vendor-prefixes.yaml?
Adding a compatible string with an undocumented vendor prefix will cause a
build warning when running make dt_binding_check.
