I guess this seems OK to me if required, although I'd certainly like to
see someone familiar with the Exynos HW confirm whether this should be
driven purely by DT compatible value for the HDMI IP block instead though.
I think the supported HDMI standard is something that could well be derived
from the compatible property. The IP supporting v1.3 and v1.4 will be
significantly different, so this would anyway already need to be reflected
in the compatible property. The only issue I see here is that people tend
to make the compatible string overly generic, so it is hardly usable for
anything but matching an IP with its driver. For instance for exynos5 we
have now (Documentation/devicetree/bindings/drm/exynos/hdmi.txt):
compatible = "samsung,exynos5-hdmi";
For Exynos4 series there were already some patches proposed [1], but I
believe
this isn't a clean solution. Instead of things like:
compatible = "samsung,exynos4-hdmi13";
compatible = "samsung,exynos4-hdmi14";
I would much more like to see the SoC version embedded in the compatible
string, e.g.
compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-hdmi"; /* among others it carries an
information this IP supports
HDMI v1.3 */
compatible = "samsung,exynos4212-hdmi"; /* HDMI v1.4, IIRC */
