This was discussed in some other thread if I remember correctly. I still think that the HLCDC node should only contain a single output, no matter how many encoders or panels get connected. So the output represents the set of signals that exit the IP block, but what's connected to them on the board is a board-level detail and therefore should go into the board DTS. In the above case of the Atmel devkit, is there any way to control where the signal goes or does it just go to both the panel and HDMI encoder at the same time and it's up to the user to properly configure the output in order to get either HDMI or panel to display anything?
