To be honest, given the isolation on this patch, I'd rather wait for this full fledged solution, especially if there is no pressing need (see above). > Signed-off-by: John Watts <contact@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun8i_tcon_top.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun8i_tcon_top.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun8i_tcon_top.c > index a1ca3916f42bcc63b9ac7643e788d962ef360ca8..543311ffb1509face3fbfd069ded10933f254b9d 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun8i_tcon_top.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun8i_tcon_top.c > @@ -179,7 +179,7 @@ static int sun8i_tcon_top_bind(struct device *dev, struct device *master, > * At least on H6, some registers have some bits set by default > * which may cause issues.

If yes, what does that bit mean? The commit message suggests you know that? And second: the comment above clearly states that those two writes just *clear* some registers, to have some sane base line. So please adjust this comment, and copy in some of the rationale from the commit message. Explaining things in the commit message is good (so thanks for that!), but having at least some terse technical explanations near the code, in a comment, is better.
