Huh, from the binding I would have thought that we were describing
things to the point of the pins coming out of the PLD, not past whatever
splitting comes after that.
I'm also confused how this would work. You're talking about the DT
looking like:
clcd@10020000 {
compatible = "arm,pl111", "arm,primecell";
reg = <0x10020000 0x1000>;
interrupt-names = "combined";
interrupts = <0 44 4>;
clocks = <&oscclk1>, <&oscclk2>;
clock-names = "clcdclk", "apb_pclk";
max-memory-bandwidth = <94371840>; /* Bps, 1024x768@60 16bpp */
port {
dac_pads: endpoint1 {
remote-endpoint = <&vgadac>;
arm,pl11x,tft-r0g0b0-pads = <0 8 16>;
};
tft_pads: endpoint2 {
remote-endpoint = <&tftpanel>;
arm,pl11x,tft-r0g0b0-pads = <0 8 16>;
};
};
};
Are you anticipating that a DT would actually connect up to two
endpoints on the CLCD? How should we resolve the pads property, in that
case? Is there much point in supporting this, if we don't actually
support panels or bridges on both of the endpoints at once (since we
pick only one to do panel/bridge setup/teardown on)?
