Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with display manufacturers and panel
assemblies. Most of the what I presume to be panel names were gleaned from
online screen replacement photos; those don't ever include the DDIC name. Those
mostly come from the DTS though isn't mentioned exactly for every phone (only
the first two in the DTS name).

So you're implying or certain that these panel names here are always bundled
with exactly the same controller (making the SOFEF01 part "redundant" in the
compatible)?

Also, divergence of the driver commands got significant with the last two panels
/ three phones, though that might be down to vendor configuration/calibration.
