Some boards have both a DesignWare and their own CEC controller.
The CEC pin is only hooked up to their own CEC controller and not
to the DW controller.

Add the cec-disable property to disable the DW CEC controller.

This particular situation happens on Amlogic boards that have their
own meson CEC controller.

Seems like we could avoid this by describing how the CEC line is hooked 
up which could be needed for other reasons.

So there are three situations:

1) The cec pin is connected to the DW HDMI TX. That's already supported.
2) The cec pin is not connected at all, but the CEC IP is instantiated.
   We need the cec-disable property for that. This simply states that the
   CEC pin is not connected.
3) The cec pin is connected to an HDMI RX. We do not support this at the
   moment. If we want to support this, then we need a 'hdmi-rx' phandle
   that points to the HDMI receiver that the CEC pin is associated with.
   This will be similar to the already existing 'hdmi-phandle' property
   used to associate a CEC driver with an HDMI transmitter. In hindsight
   it would have been better if 'hdmi-phandle' was named 'hdmi-tx' :-(

I can make a binding proposal for 3, but I have no hardware to test it,
so I think it is better to add this only when someone has hardware. It
will require quite a few changes to the driver and likely also the CEC core.

Regards,

	Hans

Can't we simply add a property to override the HW config fields in this case ?
It will be then usable with any feature the is enabled by reading the config
bits like AHB Audio, I2c, CEC, ... and maybe many more in the future.

Yes, we can do that as well. But is that a proper description of the hardware?
The HW *does* support CEC, but in this case the CEC line is just not hooked
up to anything. So overriding the HW config field doesn't really sound right
to me.

I still believe that the cec-disable property in order to describe situation
2 in the list above is the right approach.

Perhaps giving it a different name (cec-not-connected?) helps overcome Rob's
objections? Rob?

Sorry for not following up on this earlier.
