[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: display: bridge: ldb: allow a single reg for fsl,imx6sx-ldb

[Frank.Li]

From: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com>

The i.MX6SX LDB only provides a single register region for the LDB block,
while other supported LDB variants require two register regions.

Update the binding schema to allow a single reg entry for
fsl,imx6sx-ldb while keeping the existing constraints unchanged for the
other compatible strings.

Fix below DTB_CHECK warings:
  arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6sx-nitrogen6sx.dtb: bridge@18 (fsl,imx6sx-ldb): reg: [[24, 4]] is too short

The legacy i.MX6SX SoC imx-iomuxc-gpr contains one LDB_CTRL register.
This patch updates the dt-bindings to allow the LVDS Display Bridge (LDB)
child node under imx-iomuxc-gpr to resolve CHECK_DTBS warnings.

[Severity: High]
Will this omission of ranges cause a kernel WARN_ON at boot?

Because the syscon node includes the simple-mfd compatible, the kernel
function of_platform_default_populate() will attempt to create platform
devices for its children. For the bridge@18 child, of_device_alloc()
attempts to parse its reg property.

Since the parent lacks a ranges property, of_translate_address() fails and
returns OF_BAD_ADDR. This causes of_address_to_resource() to return
-EINVAL, which is passed directly to a WARN_ON() in of_device_alloc().

Because additionalProperties is set to false in this schema, users are
actively prevented from adding a valid ranges property to their device trees
to fix this.

Should the ranges property be added to this schema and explicitly permitted
so that device trees can provide the required address translation mapping?

[Severity: High]
Does this example also need a ranges property?

Without it, this example demonstrates an invalid configuration that will
trigger the boot warning described above when the device tree is processed.

You need ranges.

[PATCH v2 3/4] dt-bindings: display: lcdif: Allow display0 child node for i.MX6UL

[Frank.Li]

From: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com>

The legacy i.MX6UL LCDIF binding uses a display0 child node to describe
the attached display. Update the binding schema to allow this child node
for fsl,imx6ul-lcdif.

Fixes the following CHECK_DTBS warning:
  arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/imx6ul-tx6ul-0010.dtb: lcdif@21c8000 (fsl,imx6ul-lcdif): 'disp0' does not match any of the regexes: '^pinctrl-[0-9]+$'

A follow-up patch renames the child node from disp0 to display0 to match
the updated binding.

Signed-off-by: Frank Li <Frank.Li@nxp.com>
---
sashiko report problem and allow dma/dma-names for i.MX6ul. which should
be fine for this kinds of old platform.

Ideally it should use port. but platform is too old to avoid break back
compatiblity and leave as it. Needn't complex if-else branch.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Undocumented Schema Relaxation: The commit message claims to only allow the `display0` child node, but the patch also removes the requirement for the `port` node and allows multiple legacy properties (`display`, `lcd-supply`, `dmas`, `dma-names`) for `fsl,imx6ul-lcdif`. The explanation for these additional relaxations was placed below the `---` separator, meaning it will be lost from the permanent git history when the patch is applied.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this change do more than just allow the display0 child node mentioned
in the commit message?

By adding fsl,imx6ul-lcdif to this exclusion list, it skips the block that
previously disabled legacy properties. This removes the requirement for the
port node and allows multiple legacy properties (display, lcd-supply, dmas,
dma-names).

The explanation for this was placed below the --- separator in the patch:

"sashiko report problem and allow dma/dma-names for i.MX6ul. which should
be fine for this kinds of old platform."

Since text below the separator is discarded when the patch is applied, this
justification will be lost.

Could this explanation be moved into the commit message itself to preserve
the reasoning in the permanent git history?
