The other helpers give you a simple drm pipeline with plane, crtc & encoder all baked into on drm_simple_pipeline structure. The only thing variable you have to hook up to that is the drm_connector. And I think for dead-simple panels avoiding the basic boilerplate in that does indeed make some sense. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
