[PATCH v3 0/2] SimpleDRM: allow configuring physical width and height

[Rayyan Ansari]

Hello,

The following patches:
- Add support for configuring the width-mm and height-mm DRM mode
  properties in the SimpleDRM driver via Device Tree
- Document these two new Device Tree properties

This is useful for allowing interfaces such as Phosh to calculate
proper scaling values and for early boot code knowing if hi-dpi
rendering is necessary.

Changes since v2:
- Remove $ref property (because it is an SI unit)
- Extend commit messages

[PATCH v3 1/2] drm/simpledrm: Allow physical width and height configuration via DT

[Rayyan Ansari]

Add optional width-mm and height-mm devicetree properties and use this
to set the DRM Display Mode instead of calculating it based on an
average DPI.

As pointed in previous discussion - you should have panel node and take
the properties from it. The physical dimensions are not properties of
framebuffer device. These are properties of panel.
