I don't think that works correctly. The omap_overlay_manager_info is supposed to be set with set_manager_info() by the user of omapdss, to configure the manager's features. The timings are not supposed to be set via that mechanism, but with dssdev->set_timings(). This is similar to the info and extra_info for overlay. info has stuff that omapdss doesn't change, it just uses what the user gives. extra_info, on the other hand, has omapdss private stuff that the user does not see. Timings are clearly private stuff in this sense, because they are set via dssdev->set_timings(). One reason for this is the programming model we use. If the user of omapdss does get_info() for two overlays, changes the infos, and then calls set_info() for both overlays and finally apply() for the manager, we don't do any locking there because omapdss presumes the info is handled by one user. If, say, the dpi.c would change the info and call apply at the same time, the configuration could go badly wrong. So I think what should be done is to add similar "extra" flags and code to mgr_priv_data that we have for ovl_priv_data, and add omap_video_timings to mgr_priv_data (the same way as we have, say, fifo_low for ovl_priv_data). And then add similar function to dss_ovl_write_regs_extra() for manager, and a function like dss_apply_ovl_fifo_thresholds() for timings. And finally a non-static function to set the timings (used by dpi.c etc), which calls the similar function to dss_apply_ovl_fifo_thresholds(), and dss_write_regs() and dss_set_go_bits(). Tomi
