Rotator devices of Exynos SoC support various pixel formats; RGB888, RGB565, YUV422, YUV420-2Plane, and YUV420-3Plane, and each of these pixel formats could be different limitation to minimum and maximum sizes. > For example, the below shows the limitation to Rotator device of Exynos4412 SoC according to pixel formats, > Image format Minimum size Maximum size > RGB888 8x8 8kx8k > RGB565 16x16 16kx16k > YUV422 16x16 16kx16k > YUV420 2-Plane 32x32 32kx32k(in case of Y components) > YUV420 3-Plane 64x32 32kx32k(in case of Y components) > > And, I guess those limitations are slightly different according to Exynos SoC versions as long as I know. > > Thanks, > Inki Dae > >> > , or could you just extract those values >> > from the SoC/rotator hardware version and thus the DT compatible string? My gut feeling is that those constraints could be well defined in the driver as static data and selected by the compatible property. Defining this in Device Tree may easily get out of control, when the limits become dependant on more parameters. Whether devices should be described in much detail in DT rather than using multiple compatible strings had been discussed multiple times, for instance please see thread [1].
