Yes, in case when the device is prepared for a use case this can be done with recompiling the DT, but when you have a device which uses the LCD as primary display by design and move that to connect it to a HDMI TV/monitor and want to use it there for a prolonged time, you might not want to set up a development environment just to recompile the DT. In this case you just add the kernel parameter and be done with the adaptation to the new use case. >> The first 6 patch of the series is doing some generic clean up and prepares >> the code so the display ordering is going to be easy to add. > > This will conflict with the work I'm doing on merging the omapdrm and omapdss > driver, so I'm a bit reluctant to merge this first :-/ Understand. I will update the patches based on the comments and roll it in my wip branch for now and going to send v1 when the omapdrm is ompadss is merged? > In particular, with the > two drivers merged, couldn't we implement this module parameter without moving > the display sorting from omapdss to omapdrm ? If they are merged, then we will only have omapdss ;) I wanted to have all sorting in one place so it is going to be easier to locate them and since they are in one place it might make easier to merge the the omapdss to omapdrm.
