This models the two inputs to the IP core, that are connected to a mux
internally, controlled through mux-controls, right ? Why is a single
endpoint supported then, if there are two connections at the hardware
level, and why is this using endpoints instead of ports as there are
really two input ports ?

Apart from that the bindings look ok to me.

That came out of

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/c86b7ca2-7799-eafd-c380-e4b551520837@samsung.com/

# If the ip has separate lines for DCSS and LCDIF you should distinguish
# by port number. If they are shared
# you can use endpoint number to specify DCSS or LCDIF, in both cases
# bindings should be adjusted.

I read that as

- distinguish by endpoint number:

    eLCDIF--\    |
             ----| nwl
    DCSS----/    |

- distinguish by port number:

    eLCDIF-------|
                 | nwl
    DCSS --------|

From the imx8mq ref manual i didn't see separate input lines for DCSS vs
eLCDIF the the NWL IP so i went with endpoints instead of ports.  I'm
happy to change that if i got it wrong.

I fully agree with you here, but in the first case I would expect the
mux to be outside of the NWL, while in the second case it would be
inside. If I understand the issue correctly, the mux is not part of the
NWL, right ? The endpoint model would then be good, but leaves the issue
of where to control the mux. There's a DT binding for video muxes in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-mux.txt, but that would
require some support on the driver side. Do you think it would be a good
way forward ?

The alternative is to consider the mux + NWL as one device (more or less
an i.MX8M-specific integration wrapper of the NWL), but in that case
there should be two ports I believe.

Binding wise that looks like a good fit. I then thought about the
implementation and figured we'd end up with something like a bridge that
basically muxes inputs - or did you have something different in mind? That
sounds generally useful when we e.g. look at runtime switching the input
display controller.

I'd go with that for the moment and fold in the above at a later
point if needed. I'm happy to work on that but would like to work on
some parts of the imx8mq display stack first.

That's exactly what I have in mind. There's a video-mux driver in V4L2
that does exactly this, we would need something similar for DRM/KMS.
There's an additional challenge in that bridges are supposed to have a
single input and a single output at the moment, so API extensions would
be needed, which could take some time to get right. Shortcuts may be
possible to achieve a first implementation that would hardcode a
particular input, as long as the DT bindings are fine.

There's no specific urgency on my side, if not for the fact that DT
bindings are supposed to be a stable ABI. If we have to change this, it
would be best to do it before v5.7-rc6 in order to get the changes in
v5.8. A delay until v5.8-rcX may still be acceptable as this could be
considered as a fix, but the more we wait, the bigger the risk is.
