I was referring to drivers for connectors, binding to the connectors DT nodes. We shouldn't duplicate handling of connector-related features (ddc-i2c-bus being the most important one) in every bridge driver, and we need to pave the way for bridges chained with other bridges instead of being connected directly to a connector. > [1] > https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-November/123337.html -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
