I can quite well see the iMX HDMI support needing an i2c bus here. Also, HDMI has two connector standards - type A and type B, much like the single vs dual link of DVI. Again, DRM exposes this to userspace.

I have added only the properties that I have used. I did think about the i2c for HDMI also, but thought that I don't use it, and so can't test it, and so I could well create a bad binding. And, as I don't see any issue in adding it later, when someone uses it, I decided to leave it out. > I can quite well see the iMX HDMI support needing an i2c bus here. > > Also, HDMI has two connector standards - type A and type B, much like > the single vs dual link of DVI. Again, DRM exposes this to userspace. True, but isn't that just a form factor? No functional differences? But I agree, we can add the two types here also to the compatible string. Tomi

HDMI A is 19 pins carrying TMDS channels 0-2. HDMI B is 29 pins carrying TMDS channels 0-5. So, the difference is the same as the single vs dual link on DVI-D/I connectors. There's actually three HDMI connectors: All three connectors carry all required HDMI signals, including a TMDS link. The Type B connector is slightly larger and carries a second TMDS link, which is necessary to support very high resolution displays using dual link. The Type C connector carries the same signals as the Type A but is more compact and intended for mobile applications. So, Type C and Type A are electrically the same.

There's also D (e.g. on BeagleBone Black) and E: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Connectors Electrically they seem to be the same as A/C.

Right. And then there are the HDMI versions, and things like HDMI Ethernet Channel. After looking at these a bit, I don't think the HDMI connector needs any of those (hdmi version, eth) defined. So... compatible = "hdmi-connector"; type = "a"; Or compatible = "hdmi-connector"; type-a; I don't right away see any big pro with either one compared to the other. Tomi

Again, DRM exposes this to userspace. Yeah, there's a dual-link hdmi standard somewhere. I've never seen it in the wild anywhere though, and newer hdmi all just increase the max link clock to push higher res modes over the wire. Imo can't hurt to just enumerate all type of physical connectors standardized. HDMI revisions themselves are only relevant for the sink (as advertised capabilities in the EDID) and for your hdmi encoder chip (where pretty much just the max dotclock is interesting really). So I don't think we need a hdmi revision in dt for the physical connector. -Daniel
