Thanks for the review.

You're right. This is pre-existing context, but since I'm reworking the block
I'll fix it. In v3 it will read:

* These have 3, 3 and 2 bits respectively.

Fixing it the same way in v3:

* These have 5, 6 and 5 bits respectively.

Good catch. Rather than spell it out, I'll switch to "bpp" (bits per pixel),
which is more concise and matches the wording already used in the commit
message. For consistency I'll update both this comment and the
ssd133x_format_info() one in ssd130x.c. In v3:

* hardware can drive the panel in RGB332 (8bpp) or RGB565 (16bpp);
* this is a policy choice per variant, not a
