I would suggest only documenting "simple-panel" here, and not documenting the specific panels at all; the panel-specific compatible values would show up simply due to the rule that all compatible values in *.dts should contain the exact HW model (e.g. "auo,b101aw03"), plus any HW they're compatible with (i.e. "simple-panel"). I'd suggest "simple-panel" rather than "panel-simple" since IIRC other simple bindings are "simple-xxx" rather than "xxx-simple". >> +Optional properties: >> +- ddc-i2c-bus: phandle of an I2C controller used for DDC EDID probing >> +- power-supply: regulator to provide the supply voltage >> +- enable-gpios: GPIO pin to enable or disable the panel >> +- backlight: phandle of the backlight device attached to the panel >> + > > If these are all optional, what does it mean to be a "panel-simple"? I think at least ddc-i2c-bus and backlight should be required properties. I suppose it might be possible for the panel to be always-on, and hence enable-gpios/power-supply could be optional? _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
