Actually, I had made a discussion about it. For this, you can refer to below link, http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg55555.html My intension there was that let's use super device approach to resolve the probe order issue of drm drivers for embedded system, and the graphs to compose their display pipelines. And for this, we need generic common structure to handle various bridge devices that could be controlled by crtc and encoder/connector drivers.

Yes. I still think the super device approach is a best solution, and I think the only problem here is backward compatibility. I have a feel that we might resolve that issue easier then we think. I think all we have to do for it is to implement some codes for backward compatibility on top of super device approach. This way, we could have a better design for the future drm drivers without being tied to the backward compatibility.
