Would you mind if I moved this property to panel-common.txt ? I would also like to document the property in a bit more details to avoid confusion about the rotation direction, as "display rotation" could be interpreted as the angle by which the display output has to be rotated to obtain an upside-up image. What would you think of the following, am I overdoing it, or is it even more confusing ? - rotation: Panels are commonly mounted rotated, with their native orientation not aligned with the device's orientation. The rotation property specifies the angle in degrees between the panel's orientation and the device's orientation (corresponding to a counter-clockwise rotation of the panel). Valid values are 0, 90, 180 and 270. > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) > create mode 100644 > Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel.txt > > diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel.txt > b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel.txt new file mode > 100644 > index 0000000..e2e6867 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel.txt > @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ > +Common display properties > +------------------------- > + > +- rotation: Display rotation in degrees counter clockwise (0,90,180,270) -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
