AFAICT from the diff, eink_apollofb already includes all the features of
hecubafb, so that would be just renaming. Is it worth it?

Hi Mikhail,

Looking at the posted code, it is the same code as hecubafb, renamed,
and with the 2-bit, partial update, and flash features added.

Hardware abstraction layer (with platform_device framework) and rotation also :)

The new
features are good but basically, its a fork of hecubafb. I'm
suggesting that rather than doing that, it would make more sense to
add those features to the existing hecubafb code. If any help is
needed in making that happen, please let me know, I'm happy to help.

I am agreed. I saw 'Apollo' name more frequently than any other, but
it is not a matter of principe.

I agree that having a separate-but-similar driver for the same hardware
is most undesirable.

I presently have
eink_apollofb-new-driver-for-apollo-eink-controller.patch on "hold"
status, waiting for some resolution here.
