To emphasize that it is not related to pixel format. Also, if you have a
controller with multiple framebuffers/layers, mxsfb_set_pixel_fmt would
get called per layer...

In a full DRM driver it probably would be part of a encoder function, I
feel here it seems to map best to enable controller. It could probably
also be in mxsfb_crtc_enable (or even mxsfb_crtc_mode_set_nofb I guess),
but we do not touch LCDC_CTRL there...

Not sure what you mean by cache? Isn't the variable reg counting as a
cache?
