description: |
  This binding is for display panels using a MIPI DBI compatible controller
  in SPI mode.

  The MIPI Alliance Standard for Display Bus Interface defines the electrical
  and logical interfaces for display controllers historically used in mobile
  phones. The standard defines 4 display architecture types and this binding is
  for type 1 which has full frame memory. There are 3 interface types in the
  standard and type C is the serial interface.

  The standard defines the following interface signals for type C:
  - Power:
    - Vdd: Power supply for display module
    - Vddi: Logic level supply for interface signals
    Combined into one in this binding called: power-supply
  - Interface:
    - CSx: Chip select
    - SCL: Serial clock
    - Dout: Serial out
    - Din: Serial in
    - SDA: Bidrectional in/out
    - D/CX: Data/command selection, high=data, low=command
      Called dc-gpios in this binding.
    - RESX: Reset when low
      Called reset-gpios in this binding.

  The type C interface has 3 options:

    - Option 1: 9-bit mode and D/CX as the 9th bit
      |              Command              |  the next command or following data  |
      |<0><D7><D6><D5><D4><D3><D2><D1><D0>|<D/CX><D7><D6><D5><D4><D3><D2><D1><D0>|

    - Option 2: 16-bit mode and D/CX as a 9th bit
      |              Command or data                              |
      |<X><X><X><X><X><X><X><D/CX><D7><D6><D5><D4><D3><D2><D1><D0>|

    - Option 3: 8-bit mode and D/CX as a separate interface line
      |        Command or data         |
      |<D7><D6><D5><D4><D3><D2><D1><D0>|

  The panel resolution is specified using the panel-timing node properties
  hactive (width) and vactive (height). The other mandatory panel-timing
  properties should be set to zero except clock-frequency which can be
  optionally set to inform about the actual pixel clock frequency.

  If the panel is wired to the controller at an offset specify this using
  hback-porch (x-offset) and vback-porch (y-offset).
