dt-bindings: display: sun4i: Add allwinner,tcon-channel property
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The Allwinner Timings Controller has two, mutually exclusive, channels.
When the binding has been introduced, it was assumed that there would be
only a single user per channel in the system.

While this is likely for the channel 0 which only connects to LCD displays,
it turns out that the channel 1 can be connected to multiple controllers in
the SoC (HDMI and TV encoders for example). And while the simultaneous use
of HDMI and TV outputs cannot be achieved, switching from one to the other
at runtime definitely sounds plausible.

Add an extra property, allwinner,tcon-channel, to specify for a given
endpoint which TCON channel it is connected to, while falling back to the
previous mechanism if that property is missing.

first port should be the input endpoint, the second one the output

The output should have two endpoints. The first is the block
connected to the TCON channel 0 (usually a panel or a bridge), the
second the block connected to the TCON channel 1 (usually the TV
encoder)
The output may have multiple endpoints. The TCON has two channels,
usually with the first channel being used for the panels interfaces
(RGB, LVDS, etc.), and the second being used for the outputs that
require another controller (TV Encoder, HDMI, etc.). The endpoints
will take an extra property, allwinner,tcon-channel, to specify the
channel the endpoint is associated to. If that property is not
present, the endpoint number will be used as the channel number.

On SoCs other than the A33 and V3s, there is one more clock required:
- 'tcon-ch1': The clock driving the TCON channel 1
