Makes sense.

I believe the init sequence is the same. The init parameters may not be.
What happened to the separation of code and data? ;-)

I went through all the ST77[13]5R-specific register settings in the pipe
enable function. All these registers exist on both ST7715R and ST7735R.
Unfortunately the Okaya display documentation doesn't give any clues
w.r.t. the expected values to program.
However, my display seems to work fine. Even the grayscale bands from
fbtest test006 look good, so the gamma parameters must be correct ;-)

At the expense of duplicating the whole function, for one single bit of
difference...
P.S. Note that I'm using this on an RSK+RZA1 board with 32 MiB of SDRAM.
Enabling support for this display increases kernel size by 316 KiB.
And apparently most real world users of the RZ/A1 SoC are not even using
SDRAM, but doing XIP with the builtin 10 MiB of SRAM...
Thanks!
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
