Yes, but that can only happen on TCON which has channel 0. TV TCONs (those with channel 1 only) can't have panels or bridges connected to them, because they are internally always connected to either HDMI or TV encoder or both. Actually, R40 is the only SoC, where same TV TCON can be connected to TV encoder or HDMI. Others have specialized TV TCONs, which are connect to only one encoder. IMO TV TCONs are really just stripped down LCD TCONs to support one (or max two) specific encoder. > So I guess this was sort of implied historically.

It's my understanding of TCON binding documentation that property "allwinner,tcon-channel" is needed only if TCON supports both channels. TV TCON clearly supports only channel 1. In that case, there is no doubt to which channel output endpoint belongs. If that's not true, dt bindings documentation should be reworded to contain word "needed" or something similar. Currently, no DT for newer SoC contains that property (for example, A83T, H3, H5 or even A33). On A33 this is even more interesting, since tcon0 has only channel 0 and has DSI output endpoint with number 1. According to TCON binding docs, if "allwinner,tcon-channel" is not preset, endpoint number represent channel. So, that would mean DSI needs channel 1 on tcon which supports clearly only channel 0. So either there TCON bindings documentation needs updates or DT for A33 has to be updated. BTW, "allwinner,tcon-channel" property is not used at all in the code. > > > So on TV TCONs on R40 (without channel 0) TVE would be endpoint 1 and HDMI > > endpoint 2 (or the other way around)? > > Which one goes first doesn't quite matter. IIRC there's also a mux for TVE? AFAIK, TV TCON is by default connected to TV encoder unless HDMI mux in TCON TOP points to it. I think it's best put TVE with lower number since it's default and HDMI with higher number.
