Both of them are for tda998x, not "defaults". So... I don't know. You could state that at the moment tilcdc only supports tda998x as an external encoder. Then the above would be ok, but still it would be good to clearly state this in the desc, comments and variable names. Doing this properly may be more difficult. Some parameters should be defined in the .dts, some should probably come from tda998x driver, and some should be deduced by tilcdc driver internally. > + *bpp = panel_info_defaults.bpp; > + > + dev_info(dev->dev, "External encoder '%s' connected\n", > + connector->encoder->name); This and the other dev_info in this patch look more like dev_dbg to me. > + > + return 0; > +} > + > + > +int tilcdc_add_external_encoders(struct drm_device *dev, int *bpp) > +{ > + struct tilcdc_drm_private *priv = dev->dev_private; > + struct drm_connector *connector; > + int num_internal_connectors = priv->num_connectors; > + > + list_for_each_entry(connector, &dev->mode_config.connector_list, head) { > + bool found = false; > + int i, ret; > + > + for (i = 0; i < num_internal_connectors; i++) > + if (connector == priv->connectors[i]) > + found = true; > + if (!found) { > + ret = tilcdc_add_external_encoder(dev, bpp, connector); > + if (ret) > + return ret; > + } > + } > + if (priv->num_connectors - num_internal_connectors > 1) { > + dev_err(dev->dev, "Only one external encoder is supported."); > + return -EINVAL; > + } > + return 0; > +} > + > +static int of_dev_node_match(struct device *dev, void *data) > +{ > + return dev->of_node == data; > +} > + > +int tilcdc_add_external_components(struct device *master, > + struct master *m) > +{ > + struct device_node *ep = NULL; > + > + while ((ep = of_graph_get_next_endpoint(master->of_node, ep))) { > + struct device_node *node; > + int ret; > + > + node = of_graph_get_remote_port_parent(ep); > + of_node_put(ep); Note that there's an unmerged series "Add of-graph helpers to loop over endpoints and find ports by id" from Philipp which changes the behavior of of_graph_get_next_endpoint. > + if (!node || !of_device_is_available(node)) > + continue; Should you of_node_put(node) if node != NULL above? > + > + dev_info(master, "Subdevice node '%s' found\n", node->name); > + ret = component_master_add_child(m, of_dev_node_match, node); > + of_node_put(node); > + if (ret) { > + dev_err(master, "Adding component failed: %d\n", ret); > + of_node_put(ep); > + return ret; > + } > + } > + return 0; > +} I don't know if it matters, but as tilcdc only supports a single endpoint, and I think this is the earliest place where it can be detected, you could fail above if there are more than one endpoint.

That's not a decision I want to make in my current state. Give me a couple of week or two and re-ping me. http://archive.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/message/20150306.102749.fcabd2bf.en.html (and the reason becomes self-evident when you realise that message did not go to the right list on Tuesday evening when it was meant to.)

Add support for an external compontised DRM encoder. The external encoder can be connected to tilcdc trough device tree graph binding. The binding document for tilcdc has been updated. The support has only been tested with tda998x encoder, but other encoders should work too with a little tweaking. I got the idea and some lines of code from Jean-Francois Moine's "drm/tilcdc: Change the interface with the tda998x driver"-patch.
