I think it's useful to explain the constraints regarding presence (or absence) of endpoints for ports 0 and 1 depending on which mode the device operates under, not just what the ports are used for. > If you prefer providing more context, it's fine what you had, just > keep in mind there's also dual-output mode and not just the dual-input > one. Absolutely. The reason why I haven't expanded the bindings to document dual-output mode is that I have no way to test it, and I don't think untested bindings (meaning without a testable end-to-end implementation) are a good idea. > Up to you, feel free to add my > Reviewed-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo+renesas@xxxxxxxxxx> > if relevant. > > >>> + > >>> + > >> > >> You can drop this empty line. > >> > >>> Example: > >>> -------- > >>> -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
