Add an empty 'i2c-bus' subnode to the edp node just so that the I2C core
doesn't attemp to parse the 'ports' subnode as containing i2c devices.
This is to avoid spurious failure messages such as:
i2c i2c-6: of_i2c: modalias failure on /dp@ff970000/ports
On the one hand, the edp really has an i2c bus - with its only client the
EDID listening at 0x50 (and maybe 0x30).
On the other hand, adding an empty bus to the (implementation independent)
devicetree just to make the Linux i2c subsystem happy sounds heavily like
a
implementation-specific hack, as the edp i2c bus doesn't leak into the
outside world otherwise.
I guess this empty i2c bus not being part of the binding document points
heavily into the implementation-specific corner :-) .
My short search on other patches touching this didn't reveal anything but
maybe this was already discussed somewhere and found to be ok?
Here it is:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-tegra/msg27862.html
thanks ... I'm still not sure about the placeholder though, aka needing an
undocumented subnode to make a Linux error message silent.
Sorry, I report the error result, it would work.
And about the problem at this thread beginning, I found I have to use
something like Xserver to access DRM or the panel would not be power on.
The legacy fbdev won't help.
But there is still problem to be solved, so the eDP panel for firefly is
not ready yet.
In the thread you pointed to I also did not see any dt-maintainer involvement
pointing one way or another, but spinics is often not easy to navigate
threads, so I may have missed that.
Another option could be to just make of_i2c_register_device silent if
of_modalias_node returns -ENODEV?
