Russell's point was that these connector bindings are very generic, i.e. they are not for any particular chip from a particular vendor, but for any connector for DVI, HDMI or analog-tv. And he's worried that maybe we shouldn't define such generic bindings without consulting the whole device-tree community (i.e including non-linux users). So the question is, is there such a community and a forum to bring up this kind of things? If yes, should we bring this up there? If yes, what kind of things in general should be brought into the attention of non-linux users? What I wonder here is that while a thing like DVI connector is, of course, more generic than, say, "ti,tfp410" encoder chip, but isn't the case still the same: we're defining global bindings for hardware that should work for everyone, not only Linux users?
