Yeah, I was aware about that, its just that I have a few
limitations that I need to address. I will highlight them bellow
but I think that with your proposed DT bindings and using
of_platform_populate I can address them :)

Using fixed-clock was already in my todo list. Regarding phy I
need to pass pdata so that the callbacks between controller and
phy are established. I also need to make sure that phy driver
will be loaded by the controller driver. Hmm, and also address of
the phy on th JTAG bus is fed to the controller driver not to the
phy driver. Maybe leave the property as is (the
"snps,hdmi-phy-jtag-addr") or parse it from the phy node?
I also need to pass pdata to the controller driver (the callbacks
for 5v handling) which are agnostic of the controller. These
reasons prevented me from adding compatible strings to both
drivers and just use a wrapper driver instead. This way i do
"modprobe wrapper_driver" and I get all the drivers loaded via
request_module(). Still, I like your approach much better. I saw
that I can pass pdata using of_platform_populate, could you
please confirm if I can still maintain this architecture (i.e.
prevent modules from loading until I get all the chain setup)?
Following your approach I could get something like this:
hdmi_system@YYYY {
compatible = "snps,dw-hdmi-rx-wrapper";
reg = <0xYYYY 0xZZZZ>;
interrupts = <3>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
hdmi_controller@0 {
compatible = "snps,dw-hdmi-rx-controller";
reg = <0x0 0x10000>;
interrupts = <1>;
edid-phandle = <&hdmi_system>;
clocks = <&refclk>;
clock-names = "ref-clk";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
hdmi_phy@f3 {
compatible = "snps,dw-hdmi-phy-e405";
reg = <0xf3>;
clocks = <&cfgclk>;
clock-names = "cfg-clk";
}
}
};
And then snps,dw-hdmi-rx-wrapper would call of_platform_populate
for controller which would instead call of_platform_populate for
phy. Is this possible, and maintainable? Isn't the controller
driver get auto loaded because of the compatible string match?
And one more thing: The reg address of the hdmi_controller: Isn't
this relative to the parent node? I mean isn't this going to be
0xYYYY + 0x0? Because I don't want that :/
