Hi
I like the idea, but would prefer a more structured approach.
Setting connector->ddc before calling drm_sysfs_connector_add() seems
error prone. The dependency is not really clear from the code or interfaces.
The other thing is that drivers I mostly work on, ast and mgag200, have
code like this:
struct ast_i2c_chan {
struct i2c_adapter adapter;
struct drm_device *dev;
struct i2c_algo_bit_data bit;
};
struct ast_connector {
struct drm_connector base;
struct ast_i2c_chan *i2c;
};
It already encodes the connection between connector and ddc adapter.
I suggest to introduce struct drm_i2c_adapter
struct drm_i2c_adapter {
struct i2c_adapter base;
struct drm_connector *connector;
};
and convert drivers over to it. Ast would look like this:
struct ast_i2c_chan {
struct drm_i2c_adapter adapter;
struct i2c_algo_bit_data bit;
};
There are few flavors of these drivers. In some of them
the i2c_adapter for ddc is allocated and initialized by
the driver, which must provide a place in memory to hold
the adapter. ast is an example of this approach.
But there are others, such as for example exynos_hdmi.c.
It gets its ddc adapter with of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node()
and merely stores a pointer to it, while not managing the
memory needed to hold the i2c_adapter.
Do you have any idea how to accommodate these various
flavors of drivers in the scheme you propose?
Andrzej
