More like code written in the same style as x86 DRM stuff, where they're not used to overabstracting things from day one to make things generic instead of supporting the only known chip combination to date. >> This has already been discussed at length in a few other places. >> Without some help from the drm layer, I don't see any other way to do >> this than to enumerate the possible bridges in each drm driver. >> >> I based the current set off the "Add some missing bits for >> exynos5250-snow" series I sent up a little while ago.

On the other hand, there's a chance more abstraction than that is needed when the second or third chip is added. Until then, there's little point in doing premature work on abstracting too much of it out. I'd rather see the code go in sooner and iterate in the tree. -Olof _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
