Anything using the system control module registers should be a separate driver. And it should ideally be implemeting some Linux generic framework that the consumer driver can then use. That leaves out the need to export custom functions. I guess we don't have a PHY framework for displays though, so how about just a separate minimal driver under drivers/video/omap2 that uses the syscon? > Oh, also, if I do that, I need to know both the SoC version and the DSS > version in the driver. Don't you get all you need in the compatible string? Something like compatible ti,dss-phy-omap5?
