[PATCH v3 03/10] dt-bindings: display: rockchip,dw-mipi-dsi: Drop address/size cells
Posted by Diederik de Haas 3 months, 1 week ago
When the dw-mipi-dsi binding was initially added in commit
a20d86e7f964 ("Documentation: dt-bindings: Add bindings for rk3288 DW MIPI DSI driver")
the #address-cells and #size-cells were added as required properties.

When the binding was converted to yaml format in commit
0dac2102cf6b ("dt-bindings: display: rockchip: convert dw_mipi_dsi_rockchip.txt to yaml")
those properties were demoted to optional and removed from the binding
example.

As for the compatibles:
- rockchip,px30-mipi-dsi      removed in this patch set
- rockchip,rk3128-mipi-dsi    never used
- rockchip,rk3288-mipi-dsi    added (invalid); later removed [1]
- rockchip,rk3399-mipi-dsi    removed in this patch set
- rockchip,rk3568-mipi-dsi    never used
- rockchip,rv1126-mipi-dsi    proposed (invalid); never accepted [2]

[1] 282e2e078ba5 ("ARM: dts: rockchip: Remove #address/#size-cells from rk3288 mipi_dsi")
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230731110012.2913742-12-jagan@edgeble.ai/

The #address-cells and #size-cells are useful (and required) in the
ports node and for panel(s), but those properties are declared in their
schemas already. Now that there are no remaining users, remove these
properties from the Rockchip specific extensions of the Synopsys
DesignWare MIPI DSI host controller.

The change is fine, but your reasoning is flawed. These properties are 
used if you define DSI devices on the "DSI bus" where the address of the 
child devices are the DSI virtual channel. Often though that's just 0 
and not really used, so you don't need it. 

The change is fine because these properties are defined in 
dsi-controller.yaml, so specifying them here is redundant.

Thanks for the explanation :-)

Indeed. Will fix in the next version.

Cheers,
