Please don't include <linux/mod_devicetable.h>. You can rely on
<linux/spi/spi.h> to provide of_device_id and spi_device_id; or if you
prefer full iwyu include <linux/device-id/of.h> and <.../spi.h>.

huh, upstream code isn't supposed to have #if 0 blocks.

Smells non-GPLly. Maybe ask the provider of the vendor kernel for "the
preferred form of the work for making modifications to it".

I guess {0x0A, 0x00} disables the display, so taking over an enabled
display setup by the bootloader doesn't work as is.

I claim that `i` isn't very interesting here, but maybe mention
lcddr_init[i].addr and/or `r` (using %pe).

Error message here? (Use dev_err_probe().)

Please use { } here (space between curlys and no trailing comma).
