Hi! I naively thought that since there was support for both nxp,tda19988 (in the tda998x driver) and the atmel-hlcdc, things would be a smooth ride. But it wasn't, so I started looking around, and found some missing pieces in the tilcdc driver. I "stole" some things and made it work for my use case.
In addition to the above, our PCB interface between the SAMA5D3 and the HDMI encoder is only using 16 bits, and this has to be described somewhere, or the atmel-hlcdc driver have no chance of selecting the correct output mode. Since I had similar problems with ds90c185 lvds encoder I added patches to override the atmel-hlcdc output format via DT properties compatible with the media video-interface binding and things start to play together. Since this series superseeds the bridge series [1], I have included the leftover bindings patch for the ti,ds90c185 here. I also noticed that the driver date for atmel-hlcdc is bonkers, and added a patch for that. However, I don't know if the tilcdc driver is interfacing with the tda998x driver in a sane and modern way, and I don't know if I have missed any subtle point when I "stole" the code and componentized the atmel-hlcdc driver. I also have not tested how this behaves if I run with the components as modules (not targeting that). Further, I'm not sure if I interpret the media video-interface binding correctly. Anyway, this series solves some real issues for my HW. Cheers, Peter Changes since v1 https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/9/294 - added reviewed-by from Rob to patch 1/6 - patch 2/6 changed so that the bus format override is in the endpoint DT node, and follows the binding of media video-interfaces. - patch 3/6 is new, it adds drm_of_media_bus_fmt which parses above media video-interface binding (partially). - patch 4/6 now makes use of the above helper (and also fixes problems with the 3/5 patch from v1 when no override was specified). - do not mention unrelated connector display_info details in the cover letter and commit messages.
