This is the key part I think. It must be clear that only panels with a single supply meet the definition of 'simple panel'. The main variation for current bindings are what properties are required or not. Both backlight and enable gpio could be tied off on any given platform so they can never really be required. We'll also probably want to do a version for DSI panels which add 'reg'. > The binding file to describe these panels adds overhead > that really do not add value. > The binding are known and there is nothing gained from a specific > example as they all look alike. > > The following patch introduces a single panel-simple.yaml > and converts two ampire bindings over to the new file. > > The conversion - if applied will have following effects: > > - The maintainer for the individual file will change > There is no need for many different maintainers for a simple binding. > We have the same situation with the panel-simple driver in the kernel. > > - The license will change to (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause) > There is usually only a single line copied from the original > file, a line that is often copied from a datasheet. > This license change should be acceptable considered what little > is copied. > If the license change is not OK we can use a dedicated binding > file in these cases. > > This is a follow-up on Rob's big patch converting a lot of panel bindings > to individual files: > > "dt-bindings: display: Convert a bunch of panels to DT schema" > https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1197683/ > > The objectives with one file for all the simple panles are: > - Make it simpler to add bindings for simple panels > - Keep the number of bindings file lower and thus easier to find a > relevant file to copy from when adding new panels. > - Keep the binding documentation for simple panels more consistent > - Make it simpler to add support for new panels > > Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Rob Herring <robh@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Maxime Ripard <mripard@xxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Yannick Fertre <yannick.fertre@xxxxxx> > Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> > Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@xxxxxxxx> > Cc: dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > --- > .../panel/ampire,am-480272h3tmqw-t01h.yaml | 42 -------------- > .../panel/ampire,am800480r3tmqwa1h.txt | 7 --- > .../bindings/display/panel/panel-simple.yaml | 56 +++++++++++++++++++ > 3 files changed, 56 insertions(+), 49 deletions(-) > delete mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/ampire,am-480272h3tmqw-t01h.yaml > delete mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/ampire,am800480r3tmqwa1h.txt > create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel-simple.yaml > > diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/ampire,am-480272h3tmqw-t01h.yaml b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/ampire,am-480272h3tmqw-t01h.yaml > deleted file mode 100644 > index c6e33e7f36d0..000000000000 > --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/ampire,am-480272h3tmqw-t01h.yaml > +++ /dev/null > @@ -1,42 +0,0 @@ > -# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 > -%YAML 1.2 > ---- > -$id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/display/panel/ampire,am-480272h3tmqw-t01h.yaml# > -$schema: http://devicetree.org/meta-schemas/core.yaml# > - > -title: Ampire AM-480272H3TMQW-T01H 4.3" WQVGA TFT LCD panel > - > -maintainers: > - - Yannick Fertre <yannick.fertre@xxxxxx> > - - Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx> > - > -allOf: > - - $ref: panel-common.yaml# > - > -properties: > - compatible: > - const: ampire,am-480272h3tmqw-t01h > - > - power-supply: true > - enable-gpios: true > - backlight: true > - port: true > - > -required: > - - compatible > - > -additionalProperties: false > - > -examples: > - - | > - panel_rgb: panel { > - compatible = "ampire,am-480272h3tmqw-t01h";
