Hi,

this series adds support for TFT LCD panels based on the Ilitek ILI9488
controller connected via MIPI DBI Type C Option 1 over SPI.

The target panel is the Winstar WF35-320480UD (480x320, RGB666 18-bit),
used on a custom STM32MP151A-based board by Amel s.r.l.

MIPI DBI Type C Option 1 requires 9-bit SPI transfers where the MSB
encodes the Data/Command flag. Since many SPI controllers do not support
9 bits-per-word natively, a native 9-bit implementation and an 8-bit
emulation fallback are both provided.

The series is structured as follows:

  [1/4] Extends the mipi_dbi core with Type C Option 1 transfer
        support, including 8-bit emulation for controllers that lack
        native 9-bit SPI capability.

  [2/4] Adds a rotation field to struct mipi_dbi_dev so that panel
        drivers can configure the MADCTL register from a device tree
        property.

  [3/4] Device tree binding documentation for ILI9488-based panels,
        with a vendor-specific compatible for the Winstar WF35-320480UD.

  [4/4] The ILI9488 panel driver itself, with RGB565-to-RGB666
        framebuffer conversion, backlight control and rotation support.

Tested on an STM32MP151A-based board with SPI and a WF35-320480UD
panel.
