Exactly what I wrote and did test.

Fine that we can agree on that.

Well, if you prefer separating things that are deeply related into two commits...

That is an interesting idea. Although I don't see where

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-ingenic.c#L4171

does make use of the memory resource from DTS. It just reads two values from the ingenic_chip_info instead of one I do read from soc_info.

If you see it I'd prefer to leave this patch to you (as it is not jz4780 related except that jz4780 needs it to be in place) and then I can simply make use of it for adding jz4780+hdmi.

Well, it was atomic: "add jz4780+hdmi functionality" or not. Now we separate into "preparation for adding jz4780" and "really adding". Yes, you can split atoms into quarks...

BTW: without adding jz4780_soc_info there is not even a functional change. Just the constant is made dependent on the .compatible entry. And since it is initialized to the same constant value in all cases, it is still a constant. A very very clever compiler could find out that regmap_config.max_register = soc_info->max_reg is a NOOP and produce the same code as before by avoiding the copy operation of regmap_config = ingenic_drm_regmap_config.

Well it is in preparation of setting more bits that are only available for the jz4780.

But it will be splitted into its own patch for other reasons - if we ever make osd working...

So we agree as here well.

Ok, that was the piece of information I was missing. I always thought that the way IPU is integrated is the best one and there is some special requirement. And it shows how we should do it.

So I'll wait until I see your proposal for IPU.

Ok, that is simple to add. Prepared for v6.

So v6 is to be postponed by the patch for setting up regmap_config.max_register and the separation of the IPU driver so that it does not interfere.

BR and thanks for all comments,
