In sam9x75 with support for LVDS and MIPI, Parallel interfacing peripherals, the additions performed on the LCD controller driver is the same.Considering the LCDC IP used in sam9x75, there are no registers sets that needs modification per connecting peripheral variants, only the clock and DRM_ENCODER_MODE_XXX (set by connecting peripheral driver) differs, which can be handled in DT, atmel-lcdc MFD driver and peripheral driver. In future, sam9x72 with XLCD controller can be differentiated with sam9x72 compatible string and with a IP version flag(is_xlcdc_v2) in its driver data if an upgraded XLCD IP is used with difference in bits or register set exist compared to current IP. > > Regards, > Nicolas > > -- Thanks and Regards, Manikandan M.
