You don't need the oneOf here here as there is only the enum as a
possible item.
I didn't get anything else in the series, I have to ask - are these
controllers not compatible with eachother?

You probably know better than me, operating in drm stuff, but are there
really no generic properties for the weidth/height of a display?

Unless you did it like this for clarity, 2 of these have the same
default width and 2 have the same default height. You could cut this
down to a pair of if/then/else on that basis AFAICT.

This label is unused as far as I can tell. Ditto below.

Looks like the same binding as solomon,ssd1307fb.yaml. Why a different 
binding? Why does that binding need a slew of custom properties and here 
you don't?

Don't define the same properties twice. Either share the binding or 
split out the common properties into their own schema file.

Indeed. I'll fix that in v2.

They are not, basically the difference is in the default width and height
for each controller. That's why the width and height fields are optional.

But other than the default resolution, yes the controllers are very much
the same.

There are some common properties, such as the width-mm and height-mm for
the panel-common:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel-common.yaml

But those are to describe the physical area expressed in millimeters and
the Solomon drivers (the old ssd1307fb fbdev driver and the new ssd130x
DRM driver for backward compatibility with existing DTB) express the width
and height in pixels.

That's why are Solomon controller specific properties "solomon,width" and
"solomon,height".

Yes, this was done like that for clarity. Because is easier for someone
reading the DT binding schema to reason about resolution (width,height)
for a given SSD132x controller, rather than following the if/else logic.

Right, I'll drop those too.

I think this answer was a little sparse, let me elaborate a bit. The Solomon
display controllers are quite flexible, so that could be used with different
OLED panels.

And the ssd1307fb binding schema defines a set of properties that are almost
a 1:1 mapping from properties to the configuration registers. This makes the
driver to support most SSD130x controller + panel configurations but at the
expense of making the binding more complicated (a slew of custom propertie
as you pointed out).

Now, as mentioned this is support for greyscale Solomon controllers (the old
fbdev driver only supports monochrome controllers) so we don't care about DT
backward compatibility.

I decided for now to keep the binding at a minimum and be more opinionated in
the driver with having what I think are sane defaults for most of the config
registers.

If there is a need to expose any of this configuration as DT properties, then
we can later added it share some of the existing solomon,ssd1307fb.yaml custom
properties and move them to a common schema.

We can always change the driver in the future anyways, but we can't do the same
with the DT binding schema since that is considered an ABI.
