This patch attempts to convert the ingenic-dw-hdmi driver
into a version that uses the component framework.
Why ? What problem would this solve ?
Well, it was suggested in a v1 we did post several months ago. I have
not
looked up by whom and do not exactly remember the reasons.
We now simply thought that it is common style since dome dw-hdmi
drivers
make use of it but some others don't. And we got it working without.
If it is not needed/requested by anyone, we can drop it from v3 (or
add later).
I don't remember exactly TBH - the only reason to use a component is to
have access to the main driver's "drm_device" structure. The IPU needs
it for instance, to register planes; but I don't think this HDMI driver
needs it as it registers a bridge.
Cheers,
