I'm afraid I think we shouldn't add pwdn-gpios support to the lvds encoder DT bindings. The reason is that control GPIOs (and regulators) come with device- specific semantics. If we add pwdn-gpios now, we'll then add reset-gpios, and power supplies, and all of a sudden we'll end up having to encode sequencing of GPIOs and power supplies in DT. That path has been tried in the past, with no good results. I would instead create device-specific bindings, like done for thine,thc63lvdm83d. It's fine to then add support for the pwdn-gpios property in the lvds-encoder driver, as long as the meaning of the property comes from specific DT bindings, not from the generic ones. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
