Re: [PATCH v7 2/7] arm64: dts: imx8mm: imx8mp: Add LVDS DTOs for Data Modul i.MX8M Mini and Plus eDM SBC

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Incorrect backlight enable GPIO and pinctrl applied for the g215hvn011 panel on the native i.MX8MP LVDS interface.
- [Medium] The `assigned-clock-rates` property in `&media_blk_ctrl` lacks the required `assigned-clocks` property, causing the LVDS panel clock configuration to be silently ignored.

arm64: dts: imx8mm: imx8mp: Add LVDS DTOs for Data Modul i.MX8M Mini and Plus eDM SBC

This patch adds DT overlays for the DSI-to-LVDS adapter populated with a
Lontium LT9211 bridge on Data Modul i.MX8M Mini and Plus eDM SBCs. It
supports multiple panels for both the bridge and native i.MX8MP LVDS
interfaces.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this result in the wrong GPIO being toggled for the native i.MX8MP LVDS
interface?

The shared imx8mm-data-modul-edm-sbc-overlay-lvds-g215hvn011.dtsi file hardcodes
enable-gpios to &gpio3 0 and defines a pinctrl. However, the native i.MX8MP
LVDS interface uses the IO expander's &gpiowifi 0 (via reg_panel_bl in
edm-sbc-imx8mp-lvds.dtsi). 

Since this overlay only overrides power-supply and does not remove the
inapplicable pinctrl or override enable-gpios, won't the backlight driver
toggle the incorrect baseboard adapter GPIO pin instead of the intended one?

[Severity: Medium]
Will this clock configuration be silently ignored by the clock framework?

This overlay (and several others for the native LVDS interface) defines
assigned-clock-rates without providing or inheriting an accompanying
assigned-clocks array.

The base board file imx8mp-data-modul-edm-sbc.dts does not include
imx8mp-nominal.dtsi, where the assigned-clocks array is typically defined. 

When assigned-clocks is missing, of_parse_phandle_with_args() returns -ENOENT,
and __set_clk_rates() silently skips setting the rates. Should assigned-clocks
be explicitly defined here so the panel clock frequency is correctly set?
