Okay, that seems right. I went a little to far with const'ing.
I will send a patch for of_parse_phandle as this function does
not seem to change the pointer it is given, but returns a new one
on which the refcount gets incremented.

I wasn't proposing to do it everywhere but only where possible. If the
node is modified in some way then obviously it shouldn't be const.

Why does this need to be const? Since some DT functions increment
refcount the node, I'm not sure that making struct device_node const in
general is right thing to do. I do think it should be okay for
of_parse_phandle.

Inverted related to what? And isn't this a bool? Pixel clock is either
normal (whatever that is), or inverted. It can't be "not used".

I guess normal case is "pixel data is driven on the rising edge of pixel
clock"? If that's common knowledge, I guess it doesn't need to be
mentioned. But I always have to verify from the documentation what
"normal" means on this particular panel/soc =).

Perhaps it's obvious, but no harm being explicit: mention that the bool
properties are off is omitted.

And I didn't read the rest of the patches yet, so perhaps this is
already correct, but as I think this framework is usable without DT
also, the meanings of the fields in the structs should be explained in
the header files also in case they are not obvious.

Maybe a better approach would be a combination of 1 and 3: don't use
const pointers for struct device_node for now and bring the issue up
with the OF maintainers, possibly with patches attached that fix the
problematic functions.

The warnings are because the of-functions do not use const pointers where they
should. I had two options: don't use const pointers even if they should be and
have no warnings or use const pointers and have a correct API. (Third option:
send patches for of-functions). I chose the second option.

[PATCH v12 2/6] video: add of helper for videomode

2012-11-20 Thread Steffen Trumtrar
This adds support for reading display timings from DT or/and convert one of 
those
timings to a videomode.
The of_display_timing implementation supports multiple children where each
property can have up to 3 values. All children are read into an array, that
can be queried.
of_get_videomode converts exactly one of that timings to a struct videomode.

+All the optional properties that are not bool follow the following logic:

+There are different ways of describing the capabilities of a display. The 
devicetree

displays.
+If a display supports multiple signal timings, the native-mode can be 
specified.
