Capital "h" for "Himax".

I don't think DRV_NAME buys you very much. Get rid of this #define and
just use it below.

We're trying to get rid of the tracking of "prepared" in panels. You
should be able to delete this and remove the code dealing with it. The
core DRM code should ensure that your prepare/unprepare functions are
called appropriately.

Seems like you can remove "lp11_before_reset" since it's always true
for this controller. If later you find someone using this controller
that needs this false then we can always add it back in.

I think you could also remove "bpc", "format", and "mode_flags". If
these are all the same controller then that will be common between all
the panels, right? So you shouldn't need to define those on a
per-panel basis... You could maybe even remove "lanes" unless some
people using this panel are expected to hook up fewer lanes...

I know this is a sticking point between Linus W. and me, but I'm
really not a fan of all the hardcoded function calls since it bloats
the code so much. I think we need to stick with something more table
based at least for the majority of the commands. If I understand
correctly, Linus was OK w/ something table based as long as it was in
common code [1]. I think he also wanted the "delay" out of the table,
but since those always seem to be at the beginning or the end it seems
like we could still have the majority of the code as table based. Do
you want to make an attempt at that? If not I can try to find some
time to write up a patch in the next week or so.

...also: nit that, in general, the Linux community prefers lowercase
hex, so 0xfa instead of 0xFA, for instance.

nit: no need for an error message when drm_mode_duplicate() fails. It
is incredibly unlikely that the allocation will fail and the Linux
kernel will already do a stack crawl in the case that it does fail.

Pretty sure you can drop the call to
drm_connector_set_panel_orientation() here. I believe that nearly
everyone is using panel_bridge which will handle this for you.

it's not "reset-gpios".

Rather than the above, use "dev_err_probe" and combine into one line. Untested:

if (IS_ERR(ctx->enable_gpio))
return dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(ctx->enable_gpio), "Cannot get
enable GPIO\n");

You don't need the above line. When you got the GPIO you already
passed "GPIOD_OUT_LOW" which means that this is redundant.

Could also use "dev_err_probe" to make the above one line. Not sure
you really need the of_node name, too...

if (err < 0)
return dev_err_probe(dev, err, "failed to get orientation\n");
