The fourth patch, simply introduces the new compatible for the generic dual-link panels in the panel-lvds driver. This new compatible is based from a new DT binding added in the third patch explained below. The third patch introduces a dt-binding for generic dual-link LVDS panels. These panels do not have any documented constraints, except for their timing characteristics. Further, these panels have 2 pixel-sinks. In a dual-link connection between an LVDS encoder and the panel, one sink accepts the odd set of LVDS pixels and the other, the even set. A lot of this has been based from the Advantech,idk-2121wr dual-link panel[1] and Maxime's patches for generic LVDS panels[2] (which are single-link by default.) and the discussions that happened before they were finally merged. Below are some notes and points that I want to bring forward. - The advantech,idk-2121wr panel binding uses 2 boolean properties dual-link-odd/even-pixels, to signify which port sink is being used for which set of LVDS pixels. I too have added similar support and introduced constraints around those properties, so as to not break the ABI... but I believe there is a better way to achieve this. A "pixel-type" enum property could be introduced in their stead, which can accept one of the 2 options or . This method, in my opinion, is more accurate and cleaner to implement in the bindings as well. If this does sound a better I can push out a new revision where the driver supports both these methods (to not break the ABI) and the advantech,2121wr panel can remain as an exception. - As an alternative to the previous point, if that method is not preferred for some reason, the advantech,2121wtr panel binding could then be merged in the panel-dual-lvds binding as part of future work. - Another tweak, I am looking forward to do as part of future work and would like all your comments is to introduce driver-based implementation of the panel timing parameters, like it is with "panel-simple". The driver can then support both the panel-timing sources (DT node or hard-coded driver structure) and the binding can remove this from the "required" section. Thank you!
