Since it's difficult for me to x-compile strace for arm-linux, I made strace-like utility(attached) to observe syscalls.
"eips -g ." updates e-ink by ioctl request of MXCFB_SEND_UPDATE with following commented values:
(Structures and definitions are written in kernel-source-root/include/linux/mxcfb.h)

Code:
struct mxcfb_update_data {
    struct mxcfb_rect {
        __u32 top;      // 0x0000
        __u32 left;     // 0x0000
        __u32 width;    // 0x0258 = 600
        __u32 height;   // 0x0320 = 800
    } update_region;
    __u32 waveform_mode;    // 0x0002 = WAVEFORM_MODE_GC16
    __u32 update_mode;      // 0x0000 = UPDATE_MODE_PARTIAL
    __u32 update_marker;    // 0x002a
    int temp;               // 0x1001 = TEMP_USE_PAPYRUS
    uint flags;             // 0x0000
    struct mxcfb_alt_buffer_data alt_buffer_data; // must not used when flags is 0
};
I confirmed that:
Partial update request and full update request works,
WAVEFORM_MODE_GC16 and WAVEFORM_MODE_GC4 works but WAVEFORM_MODE_A2 seems not to work,
and no problem with another update_marker value but update_marker = 0 makes kernel panic.
