Subject: [PATCH] dt-bindings: simplefb: Document naming scheme for pre-populated simplefb nodes
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 09:02:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415955751-6316-1-git-send-email-hdegoede@redhat.com> (raw)

Since we advice to use pre-populated simeplfb nodes in dt files, where the
firmware then only needs to fill in the mode info + address and enable it,
we should also specify how these pre-populated nodes should be named so
that the firmware can find and enable the right one.

 does not need to be updated.
 
+If pre-filled framebuffer nodes are used, they should be named
+"framebuffer#-<output>", e.g. "framebuffer0-hdmi". The output should be
+included in the name since different outputs typically require different
+clocks and the clocks are part of the pre-populated nodes. The firmware must
+rename the nodes to the standard "framebuffer@<address>" using the runtime
+chosen address when enabling the nodes.

 Required properties:
 - compatible: "simple-framebuffer"
 - reg: Should contain the location and size of the framebuffer memory.
