So we will have:

$ ls -1 drivers/gpu/drm/ingenic/*.c
drivers/gpu/drm/ingenic/ingenic-drm-drv.c
drivers/gpu/drm/ingenic/ingenic-drm.mod.c
drivers/gpu/drm/ingenic/ingenic-dw-hdmi.c
drivers/gpu/drm/ingenic/ingenic-ipu.c
drivers/gpu/drm/ingenic/ingenic-x1600-drm.c

What about ingenic-dpu-x1600.c then? I.e. make the DPU variant a suffix?

Indeed. What I have done is to hack some return 0; into the driver because
probe fails without missing SPI client - as it should and likely does if
you disconnect the panel.

So I should try to locate a non-SPI panel and pretend in the device tree
it is connected...

You are welcome,
