That's correct. We're converting the adv7511 driver from the slave encoder framework to the bridge framework, and I really would like to see the remaining three drivers (ch7006, sil164 and tda998x) being converted too. We could then finally get rid of drm_slave_encoder. > Another reason I've chosen to go for the drm_bridge solution is because > I wanted to avoid as much as possible the development of a new glue for > each new encoder bridge type (HDMI/DVI, DP, ...), and, AFAICT drm_bridge > allow that, while it's a bit more complicated with drm_encoder_slave. > > > Alternatively you can take a review/comment on a similar work (SiI8620 > > bridge device) by Andrzej, who would return the favour and check this > > series :-) > > Yes, I'll try to have a look. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
