*- I have these displays available for testing.

FPS is measured using debug output modprobe fbtft_device name=... debug=$((1<<5)).
Run a few seconds of a full screen movie, then dmesg
With the experimental DMA mode, these numbers can be almost doubled on SPI displays.

Parallel databus

name=sainsmart32 The display was tested with 150mm (6") jumper wires and worked fine.
name=sainsmart32_fast gave random glitches and ultimately the display goes white.
A big putoff is that the driver uses 50% of the cpu to keep up with a fullscreen movie (using top it shows as a kworker thread).
It should be possible to offload the cpu by using DMA to drive the GPIOs.

The display is monochrome, but the driver is implemented as RGB565 so it can be used as a console.
With the MINI4x6 font, it displays 21x8 characters.
