There are at least 3 different types of displays used in the iPod
Classic, two of which share a common command set, but have different
initialization parameters.

We don't have datasheets of the exact display controllers used, but they
are partially similar to some widely adopted display protocols such as
the one used by the LDS176. I don't have a part number for the other
protocol at hand right now.

You can find Rockbox's LCD driver code for the iPod Classic here:
http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=blob;f=firmware/target/arm/s5l8702/ipod6g/lcd-ipod6g.c
This doesn't contain all of the required initialization code though,
because initialization is handled by emCORE. You can find the (barely
readable) lowlevel hardware init code somewhere in this mess:
