I have a similar panel in the sense that it needs a bunch of SPI commands to get started. I implemented a LCD driver (drivers/video/backlight) for it so that it is automatically turned on/off at bootup/shutdown, and can be manually turned on/off through /sys/class/lcd/ltv350qv/power. AFAIK the driver is currently sitting in the backlight tree scheduled for inclusion in 2.6.24.
Mmm... it seems a good solution! :)
Just implement it as a regular I2C chip driver which registers a device with the LCD framework when it is successfully probed.
Thanks for your suggestion.
