Re: [PATCH 3/3] drm/bridge: Add NWL MIPI DSI host controller support

[Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>]

Hi Guido.

Following some trivial comments.
As for the overall design I already commented on that in the binding.
(bridge versus display controller)
That it can work on top of mxsfb is a good indication that it is a
bridge but I just do not see the full picture.

In general the code looked clean and neat.

Looking at mxsfb I wonder hw this was done, as there seems to be no
bridge support in mxsfb. Using a patched version of mxsfb?

So we do not visit the directory unless required.

The preferred syntax is
imx-nwl-y := nwl-drv.o nwl-dsi.o

See for example Makefile for mxsfb.

Consider to introduce
header-test-y += nwl-drv.h nwl-dsi.h

So we at build time check that the headers are self-contained.
(they include what they need).

The most typical order of include files are:

#include <linux/*>

#include <video/*>

#include <drm/*>

#include ""

With the empty lines in-between each block.
And sorted like is already done here.

This in general for all the files for this driver.

Hmm, the videomode is just another representation of data already
included in display_mode.
And, as a personal itch, I consider videomode as something that belongs
in the old fb drivers, and not drm drivers. But that may be me only.
