So the question would be if it helps in reuse if we do that and does it result in a better solution than dsi code managing the phy. The advantage of framework (like phy) is that different subsystems can use a (phy) driver and common framework helps reduce duplicates. Yes sure the question was not for a new phy but about the whole msm/dsi/phy code and future for it. -- ~Vinod
