In a generic driver, the property should have either none, or the analogix
prefix. But DT-properties need to be backwards compatible, meaning an older
Exynos devicetree should run unmodified with a newer kernel.
So the common course of action is to mark the old one as deprecated but still
test for both, so something like:
if (of_property_read_u32(dp_node, "analogix,color-space",
&dp_video_config->color_space))
if (of_property_read_u32(dp_node, "samsung,color-space",
&dp_video_config->color_space)) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to get color-space\n");
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
}
