I've missed the Dove Cubox DT bindings when they were submitted. Fortunately (or unfortunately for you, depending on how you look at it ;-)) I've paid more attention this time. > Here, the HDMI pins of the SoC go to a pure hardware chip and then to > the physical connector. Which software entity do you want to add? I don't want to add a software entity, I just want to model the connector in DT as it's present in the system. Even though that's more common for other bus types than HDMI (LVDS for instance) it wouldn't be inconceivable to connect the HDMI signals to an on-board chim instead of an HDMI connector, so the HDMI encoder output should be modelled by a port and connected to a connector DT node in this case. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
