I am sorry for this late reply, but I was looking after the existing bindings expressing such limits. I didn't find such bindings related to this driver though, I found some limits present in some other drivers. Indeed, this limitation is actually due to bandwidth limitation, but the problem is that this limitation comes i.MX8M (known as mScale 850D), where the memory bandwidth cannot support: GPU/VPU workload in the same time with both DCSS driving 4k@60 and eLCDIF driving 1080p@60. Since eLCDIF is a secondary display we though to add the posibility to limit it's bandwidth by limiting the resolution. Indeed, there is also a second plane, but currently not yet supported (there is no support for second plane in MXSFB in the upstream driver or in our internal tree). If you think this limitation doesn't make sense, I can just drop it. > > Rob Thanks, Robert
