No, we haven't yet posted DSI support upstream. >>> I need to pass him a certain combination of pin states.

I assume (and it is just an assumption) that if you look at the CDF patches, you should find some examples of panel drivers that use it, although perhaps there aren't any yet... >> All of this will likely need to be integrated with the upcoming >> Common Display Framework. > > Is this upcoming CDF included within your "linux-next_common" > branch? No. That branch of mine is basd on linux-next, so whatever is in linux-next is in my branch, and I certainly haven't applied the CDF locally. I believe the CDF has been posted to various mailing lists a few times, but it isn't checked in yet since there isn't a final version. I CC'd Alex; he might know the status better than me. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
