Did you need them in the kernel too? Truly I don't know what I need :) CEC framework supports 2 types of CEC adapters. First one that doesn't know its HDMI physical address and second one that knows it, because it analyzed EDID on its own. In case of first adapters userplane should pass this address to adapter so it can use it. Unfortunately right now there is no large support in userplane for new framework. The most popular libcec doesn't support framework and I don't know how they are planing to obtain and pass this address to adapter. Maybe they will read this sysfs file. Who knows. https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/issues/67 Thats why to make this cec driver "more independent" and I wanted to somehow get address from EDID. But as for now I don't think this is very important and we shouldn't worry about that. Jarek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
