Subject: [PATCH 0/2] drm/bridge: imx: Add i.MX93 parallel display format configuration support

Hi,

This patch aims to add NXP i.MX93 parallel display format configuration
DRM bridge driver support. i.MX93 mediamix blk-ctrl contains one
DISPLAY_MUX register which configures parallel display format by using
the "PARALLEL_DISP_FORMAT" field. i.MX93 LCDIF display controller's
parallel output connects with this piece of small logic to configure
parallel display format.

Patch 1/2 adds NXP i.MX93 parallel display format configuration dt-bindings.

Patch 2/2 adds NXP i.MX93 parallel display format configuration DRM bridge
driver support.

Based on description, I have doubts this is a separate bridge device.
Why this is not part of display driver/bindings?

We do not create usually devices for single registers, because they are
not a devices. Devices are a bit more complex - have some pin
inputs/outputs, not a register only. Of course there are exception, but
this one does not look like one.

Your driver tells different story:

syscon_node_to_regmap(dev->of_node->parent);

(which also points to fact this is not a separate device)

Krzysztof

The relevant display controller in i.MX93 SoC is LCDIF. From hardware
design PoV, the parallel display format configuration logic is not a
part of LCDIF. Instead, it's a part of i.MX93 mediamix blk-ctrl. The
blk-ctrl includes controls for miscellaneous devices with small logics,
like this parallel display format configuration, LVDS Display
Bridge(LDB, see fsl,ldb.yaml) and so on. The below pipeline describes
data flow of a parallel display LCD panel:

DRAM -> LCDIF -> parallel display format configuration -> LCD panel

So, the parallel display format configuration appears to be a separate
bridge.

IMHO, this one is a standalone device although it is controlled by one
single register. It's input pins connect to LCDIF and output pins
connect to i.MX93 SoC's pins/pads.

This function call gets the parent device's(mediamix blk-ctrl's)
regmap, like fsl-ldb.c does. Same to LDB, the parallel display format
configuration device is a child device of the mediamix blk-ctrl device.

Fair enough. It needs to be defined as part of the mediamix blkctrl
schema though.

Do you mean that we can keep this schema and need to allow child
devices in fsl,imx93-media-blk-ctrl.yaml?

Cc'ing Peng.

Peng, it appears that you are listed in the maintainers of fsl,imx93-
media-blk-ctrl.yaml. I think it needs to be extended to allow child
devices. Do you consider to do that?
