I still have a beaglebone and some display "capes", but probably also someone from TI should get a bit familiar with this driver.. although the main changes I anticipate are CDF. I kind of think this driver should make a nice simple user for CDF because the display controller block is so simple. > But my main concern for this series is still that it creates custom > panel stuff, and adds DT bindings for them.

Well, I didn't actually add the dts file parts, because for the main user (beaglebone board), how the dts files are setup depends on whether you have the (still out of tree) "not-capebus" patch series. So I'm not going to get too hung up on supporting current DT bindings in the future when we have something better. But I needed something for now, because CDF doesn't exist yet. > Tomi > _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
