It initiates a page shift

was widely available but I can't find it anymore online,
so yes I guess at least documenting what each page does could be good
for future reference

I can definitely do that if it improves clarity

I know that for the specific panel supported by this driver there are 2 modes,
however in the future someone could want to add a panel using the same IC,
which could have any number of modes

Yes

Ok, will do the v3 next week, holidays etc :)
