mx6sl.dtsi and imx6sll.dtsi have the following lcdif entries:

compatible = "fsl,imx6sl-lcdif", "fsl,imx28-lcdif";

This causes dt-schema warnings as the current binding only
allow 'fsl,imx6sx-lcdif' as fallback.

['fsl,imx6sl-lcdif', 'fsl,imx28-lcdif'] is too long
['fsl,imx6sll-lcdif', 'fsl,imx28-lcdif'] is too long

The imx6sx-lcdif programming model has more advanced features, such
as overlay plane and the CRC32 support than the imx28-lcdif IP.

Expand the imx6sl/imx6sll lcdif fallbacks to accept a less specific
fsl,imx28-lcdif fallback:

compatible = "fsl,imx6sl-lcdif", "fsl,imx6sx-lcdif", "fsl,imx28-lcdif";

This helps keeping DT compatibility as well as using the more advanced
lcdif features found on imx6sl and imx6sll.

Changes since v2:
- Make the three compatible entres the only valid combination
for imx6sl and imx6sll (Andreas).

Shouldn't this be

- enum:
   - fsl,imx6sl-lcdif
   - fsl,imx6sll-lcdif
   - fsl,imx6sx-lcdif
- const: fsl,imx28-lcdif

So you wouldn't have to write three compatible strings for the 6sl/sll , 
but only two ? I.e. this:

compatible = "fsl,imx6sl-lcdif", "fsl,imx28-lcdif";
compatible = "fsl,imx6sll-lcdif", "fsl,imx28-lcdif";
compatible = "fsl,imx6sx-lcdif", "fsl,imx28-lcdif";

This would necessitate changing the Linux driver to match against the
fsl,imx6sl-lcdif & fsl,imx6sll-lcdif compatible as well, otherwise new features
like e.g. the overlay plane won't be available.

Hi Marek,

i.MX6SL and i.MX6SLL have a more advanced LCDIF version than the one on i.MX28.

The LCDIF block on i.MX6SL/i.MX6SLL has both overlay and CRC support,
corresponding to the MXSFB_V6 of the mxsfb_drv driver.

That's why it is better to have the compatibles as:

 compatible = "fsl,imx6sl-lcdif", "fsl,imx6sx-lcdif", "fsl,imx28-lcdif";
 compatible = "fsl,imx6sll-lcdif", "fsl,imx6sx-lcdif", "fsl,imx28-lcdif";

This way they can match with a more specific fsl,imx6sx-lcdif entry.

If an OS does not implement the fsl,imx6sx-lcdif match, it can still
match with fsl,imx28-lcdif as a fallback, keeping the DT
compatibility.

I missed updating the binding example. I will wait for more feedback
before sending a v4.

Thanks
