I assume the mode of operation (input or output) will be fixed for a
given hardware design. Isn't this something that should be recorded in
DT ? It would simplify configuration of the device in the driver.
Currently the configuration (DSI-to-DPI / DPI-to-eDP) is inferred from
the presence of DPI panel. If DPI panel present, DSI-to-DPI, else,
DPI-to-eDP.
I've had a look at the driver side, and it seems to complicate things
quite a bit. It seems that specifying the mode of operation explicitly
in DT could make software implementations quite a bit simpler.
Do you have any specific suggestion ? I explored multiple options while
writing that DSI-to-DPI driver code, this one was the simplest and least
redundant one.
