The property mentiones RGB data, does it mean it apply to LVDS > encoders only ? Or should it be in port@1 for LVDS decoders ? Right, I only considered the encoder case here. For the decoder case, we don't need a bus-width prop yet, as the bus format output is currently enforced by the bus format input of the next component in the chain (panel/next-bridge), but that might change if we start dealing with panel/bridges supporting several input formats and expecting the LVDS encoder/decoder to select one. What we do need for the decoder case though, is a data-mapping prop, otherwise this LVDS bridge exposes a FIXED in-format and the previous element in the chain has to use its 'default' output format (which might not be appropriate). Maybe we should go for Sam's approach and expose a data-mapping prop on both ends of the bridge (that implies describing RGB/DPI bus width using the data-mapping prop), this way we wouldn't have to distinguish the encoder/decoder case. > > Then, I'm not sure what the property describes.

Well, I guess defining it explicitly is not a bad thing, so, even if the default is already 24, I don't see a problem setting bus-width = <24>. Actually, maybe that's even better if we force new users to explicitly define the number of lanes exposed on the DPI interface, but we definitely need this default value if we want to keep things backward compatible. Not sure how to express that (it's not mandatory, it's not optional, it's recommended :-)). > A more > detailed description is needed. > > Updating the example would also be useful. I can do that too. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
