[PATCH] dt-bindings: simplefb: Document naming scheme for pre-populated simplefb nodes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Since we advice to use pre-populated simeplfb nodes in dt files, where the
firmware then only needs to fill in the mode info + address and enable it,
we should also specify how these pre-populated nodes should be named so
that the firmware can find and enable the right one.

+If pre-filled framebuffer nodes are used, they should be named
+"framebuffer#-<output>", e.g. "framebuffer0-hdmi". The output should be
+included in the name since different outputs typically require different
+clocks and the clocks are part of the pre-populated nodes. The firmware must
+rename the nodes to the standard "framebuffer@<address>" using the runtime
+chosen address when enabling the nodes.

 Required properties:
 - compatible: "simple-framebuffer"
 - reg: Should contain the location and size of the framebuffer memory.
