> +* Power controller for simple lcd panels
> +
> +Some LCD panels provide a simple control interface for the host system. The
> +control mechanism would include a nRESET line connected to a gpio of the host
> +system and a Vcc supply line which the host can optionally be controlled using
> +a voltage regulator. Such simple panels do not support serial command
> +interface (such as i2c or spi) or memory-mapped-io interface.
> +
> +Required properties:
> +- compatible: should be 'lcd,powerctrl'
> +- gpios: The GPIO number of the host system used to control the nRESET line.
> +  The format of the gpio specifier depends on the gpio controller of the
> +  host system.
> +
> +Optional properties:
> +- lcd,pwrctrl-nreset-gpio-invert: When the nRESET line is asserted low, the
> +  lcd panel is reset and stays in reset mode as long as the nRESET line is
> +  asserted low. This is the default behaviour of most lcd panels. If a lcd
> +  panel requires the nRESET line to be asserted high for panel reset, then
> +  this property is used.

Maybe use OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW here instead. That would make active high the
default but be a bit more consistent.

> +- lcd,pwrctrl-min-uV: If a regulator controls the Vcc voltage of the lcd panel,
> +  this property specifies the minimum voltage the regulator should supply.
> +  The value of this property should in in micro-volts.

> +  on the Vcc line. The value of this property should in in micro-volts.

The min and max voltage should rather be specified through the regulator
constraints.

I wouldn't use a goto here.

I think you have to make sure that the regulator enable and disable calls are
balanced.

I think you can remove all the CONFIG_OF ifdefs, the of API should stub itself out.

You are leaking the gpio here.
