From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

The width of the physical LCDIF output bus can differ from the input bus
format advertised by the downstream panel or bridge.

Such a distinction is required when the LCDIF bus width does not match the
width of the downstream display interface. For example, an 18-bit or
16-bit LCDIF bus can drive a 24-bit display by wiring the available color
bits to the appropriate display inputs. Configuring LCDIF solely from the
display's 24-bit format in this case selects the wrong LCD_DATABUS_WIDTH
mode, changing the color-bit assignment on the LCD_DATA pins and resulting
in incorrect colors.

Use the common OF graph endpoint bus-width property to describe the width
of the physical LCDIF output bus. Make the mxsfb driver derive the
corresponding media bus format from this property and use it in preference
to the format reported by the downstream display. When the property is
absent, the existing behavior is preserved.

Set the endpoint bus width for the Colibri iMX6ULL and Colibri iMX7 boards,
which route an 18-bit LCD interface.

v3: use video-interfaces.yaml
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260723093813.180089-1-francesco@dolcini.it/
 - use the common bus-width property instead of the legacy interface-pix-fmt
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260717121847.488148-1-francesco@dolcini.it/

The DPI output of the LCD interface can be configured with a bus width
of 16, 18, or 24 bits. Introduce a bus-width property to the output
endpoint, specifying the number of parallel RGB bits connected.

From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

LCDIF programs LCD_DATABUS_WIDTH from the selected media bus format. The
format reported by the downstream panel or bridge describes the display
input, but it does not describe how the LCDIF data pins are physically
wired on the board.

These can differ. For example, a 16-bit LCDIF bus can be connected to a
24-bit display by wiring the available color bits to the corresponding
display inputs. In that case, using the display's 24-bit format to
configure LCDIF selects the wrong data-bus mode and changes the assignment
of color bits on the LCD_DATA pins.

Read the optional bus-width endpoint property from the LCDIF output port
and use it to select the media bus format used to configure LCDIF. This
allows the LCDIF bus mode to describe the physical interface
independently of the downstream display format.

When the optional property is absent, or it has an invalid value, continue
using the format reported by the downstream display device, preserving
the existing behavior. The code is not validating the DT for
correctness and just fall back to the previous behavior in case of
errors.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The device tree schema uses exact string matching (`properties: endpoint`) instead of pattern matching (`patternProperties`), failing to validate indexed endpoints with unit addresses (e.g., `endpoint@0`) and silently bypassing constraints for `bus-width`.

--- Patch [1]: [PATCH v3 1/4] dt-bindings: lcdif: Add endpoint bus-width property ---
commit 875819bc127ee9201c1b4dcfb35262deed8eb282
Author: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

dt-bindings: lcdif: Add endpoint bus-width property

This commit introduces a bus-width property to the output endpoint of the
LCDIF display binding. It allows configuring the DPI output with a bus
width of 16, 18, or 24 bits.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this exact string match cause validation to be skipped for indexed
endpoints?

If a device tree defines an endpoint with a unit address under the port node,
such as endpoint@0 or endpoint@1, the exact match on endpoint bypasses
validation of the constraints inside this block. As a result, incorrect
bus-width values on indexed endpoints would silently pass validation.

Does this need to use patternProperties to correctly match both standard and
indexed endpoints?

IMHO this default value makes no sense with..

these cases in case no bus-width was specified without the knowledge of
the mxsfb_kms.c since the '0' value is not covered. However, I'm not the
maintainer of this driver. Thanks for making use of the bus-width
property :)

I think it's needed, otherwise the variable might be non-initialized if
the bus-width property is not present.

And I need it to be 0, by default, so that we do leave bus_format to 0,
and with that we maintain the previous existing behavior.
