It's not just about the compatible string for me here, There is no indication in the driver that it supports the r8a77980, and no comment in the driver to explain that the r8a77980 is shared by the r8a77970. This patch makes that explicit at the driver. Also - I am considering sending a patch (that I've already created anyway) to remove the r8a77970 reference from the arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77980.dtsi file. This is the *only* non r8a77980 reference in this file, so it seems very out of place. In fact more so than that - except for a seemingly glaring typo, that I'll investigate and send a patch for next, this is the *only* cross-soc compatible reference: #!/bin/sh files=r8a77*.dtsi for f in $files; do soc=`basename $f .dtsi | sed 's/-.*//'` echo "F: $f soc: $soc"; # Find all references to all socs, then hide 'this' soc grep r8a77 $f | grep -v $soc done; Finds : > F: r8a774a1.dtsi soc: r8a774a1 > F: r8a774c0.dtsi soc: r8a774c0 > F: r8a7795-es1.dtsi soc: r8a7795 > F: r8a7795.dtsi soc: r8a7795 > F: r8a7796.dtsi soc: r8a7796 > F: r8a77965.dtsi soc: r8a77965 > * Based on r8a7796.dtsi > F: r8a77970.dtsi soc: r8a77970 > compatible = "renesas,pwm-r8a7790", "renesas,pwm-rcar"; > F: r8a77980.dtsi soc: r8a77980 > "renesas,du-r8a77970"; > F: r8a77990.dtsi soc: r8a77990 > F: r8a77995.dtsi soc: r8a77995 -- KB > >> Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > [...] > > MBR, Sergei _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
