While I think it's reasonable to define DT bindings for displays, and DT bindings for display modes, I'm not sure that it's reasonable to couple them together into a single binding. I think creating a well-defined timing binding first will be much simpler than doing so within the context of a display binding; the scope/content of a general display binding seems much less well-defined to me at least, for reasons I mentioned before. > +required properties: > + - none > + > +optional properties: > + - default-timing: the default timing value > + - width-mm, height-mm: Display dimensions in mm > + - hsync-active-high (bool): Hsync pulse is active high > + - vsync-active-high (bool): Vsync pulse is active high At least those two properties should exist in the display timing instead (or perhaps as well). There are certainly cases where different similar display modes are differentiated by hsync/vsync polarity more than anything else.

In this case though, arrays don't work out so well in my opinion: We want to describe a set of unrelated display modes that the display can handle. These are logically separate entities. I don't think combining the values that represent say 5 different modes into a single set of properties really makes sense here; a separate node or property per display mode really does make sense because they're separate objects. Related, each display timing parameter (e.g. hsync length, position, ...) has a range, so min/typical/max values. These are already represented as a 3-cell property as I believe you're proposing. Combining that with a cell that represents n different modes in a single array seems like it'd end up with something rather hard to read, at least for humans even if it would be admittedly trivial for a CPU. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'm in the middle of moving things around a little. It seems best, to have bindings only for the timings at the moment and get people to agree on those and use them, instead of all the adhoc solutions based on of_videomode v2. Then, the of_get_display_timings and the conversion via videomode to fb_videomode etc can be combined with Laurent Pincharts panel proposal. > > +required properties: > > + - none > > + > > +optional properties: > > + - default-timing: the default timing value > > + - width-mm, height-mm: Display dimensions in mm > > > + - hsync-active-high (bool): Hsync pulse is active high > > + - vsync-active-high (bool): Vsync pulse is active high > > At least those two properties should exist in the display timing instead > (or perhaps as well).
