See my suggestion to go with idx-%i, drm_plane_index as the default. That's fairly reasonable (especially for any hw with true universal planes shared across all crtc), in which case there's imo not much point in passing it in directly. And for most drivers you want some printf like anyway, so the passed-in argument won't result in cleaner code. -Daniel > > > > > If you are all "meh" I guess I can live with your approach too. > > > > BR, > > Jani. > > > > > > > > -- > > Jani Nikula, Intel Open Source Technology Center > > -- > Ville Syrjälä > Intel OTC > _______________________________________________ > dri-devel mailing list > dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
