Hi Russell,
Thanks for reviewing this, I will integrate your comments in the
next revision.

I have to confess that I am not entirely up to speed with the TDA19988
situation at the moment. Andrew Jackson was dealing with that and
working with Jean to get that in the upstream, but his contract has
ended and he has moved to other things. While I did get through a
(limited) set of patches that Jean has sent around, I'm a bit confused
about the latest state of play. Is there an authoritative source from
where I can grab the patches that are going to be in 4.3? Otherwise,
as far as the current patchset base (4.2-rc2) is concerned, I am
compliant with the bindings if you ignore the port subnode (see further
below). I am happy to update the patchset to match what is going into
mainline, but just reading the emails in the mailing list I'm not
exactly sure on the sequencing of things here.

Please help me understand the current situation: you have added
support for components that the video drivers can use and the bindings
for that are described in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt.
According to that document my patch should be compliant once I add the
reg= property. Is that something that cannot be used with tda998x driver
or is there any other reason why you think the patch is not compliant?
If you are referring to connecting an encoder with a HDMI connector, I
have tested that and it seems to work, although my situation is simple
because there are no options in my setup: one HDLCD connects to one TDA19988
which connects to one HDMI output.

Thanks, I will add the reg property.
Best regards,
