If I understand the patch correctly, you are adding a new feature so that
people can change the screen offset? And from the patch, I think users
are supposed change the values of macros LEFT_OFFSET and TOP_OFFSET?

I hope I don't misunderstand anything, because I would be against this
approach. Asking users to modify the source code doesn't sound like a
good idea. If this is really needed, I suggest adding new device tree
properties instead.

                                   ^ should be y?

As noted above, I don't think this is correct. The spec says this register should
be written with:
	- upper 8 bit of SC
	- lower 8 bit of SC
	- upper 8 bit of EC
	- lower 8 bit of EC
...and I don't think the code does that correctly.

Same problem as above?

Because I don't think the implementation is correct, as pointed out above,
I have to ask: has this patch been tested with hardware? Is there
really a use case here? I wouldn't like to add code that is not really
used..

Best regards,
