No, you cannot get any documentation for that controller from Toshiba.
In fact, not even we have any toshiba documentation.

The only docs we have are those from the LCM manufacturer. And those are
under NDA.   The driver source code that we published was reviewed and
approved by the LCM manufacturer.

Thus, our minimum requirement (either open docs or free software code)
is fulfilled.  Sure, the situation could be better. But we have many
fires to fight, and first want to get our minimum requirements
implemented throughout the device.

And as a side note, the data sheet is in no way simpler than the driver
code.  I agree that both code and data sheet would be great.  But just
the datasheet is really a painfull process.  I know it, I wrote our
driver based on it :)
