Nice use of regmap in this driver.

If these are registers, why is register 0xfd written 7 times with different
values?

This is rather a jam table or intializations sequence, so it should be
names something like that and a comment about undocumented
registers added probably as well.

Since you know what this register does, what about:

#include <linux/bits.h>

#define OTA5601A_CTL 0x01
#define OTA5601A_CTL_OFF 0x00
#define OTA5601A_CTL_ON BIT(0)

But ... you have just added an array that contains 2 elements, you
KNOW it will not be 1.

I think you should probably set this on the preferred resolution
anyways, take the one you actually use.

Does this mean the display controller is ota5601a and the display
manufacturer and product is focaltech gpt3? Then it's fine.

Overall the driver looks very good, just the above little details.
