[DO_NOT_MERGE PATCH v2 14/14] arm64: dts: ti: Add AM62L3 EVM overlay for GDEY042T81 e-paper display
From: Devarsh Thakkar
Date: Sun Sep 27 2026 - 14:26:26 EST
Add device tree overlay for the Good Display GDEY042T81 4.2" e-paper
panel connected to the AM62L3 EVM via SPI.
The overlay configures SPI1 with the SSD1683-based GDEY042T81 panel
at 2MHz, with reset, busy, and DC GPIOs connected to MCU GPIO0.
Signed-off-by: Devarsh Thakkar <devarsht@xxxxxx>

Changes from v1:
- No changes: Minor improvements to DTS overlay structure
NOTE: This should only be merged post driver is merged
