In our case it's actually an FPGA that takes MIPI DSI input and can support multiple different kind of displays, and what I want to achieve is to avoid specifying a lot of different panel timings in the driver and have that in devicetree instead. I appreciate any suggestions on how to phrase that in an acceptable manner. >> ... >>>> a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel-simple-dsi.y >>>> am >>>> l >>>> +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/panel-simple-d >>>> +++ si >>>> +++ .yaml >>>> @@ -56,6 +56,8 @@ properties: >>>> - samsung,sofef00 >>>> # Shangai Top Display Optoelectronics 7" TL070WSH30 1024x600 TFT >>>> LCD panel >>>> - tdo,tl070wsh30 >>>> + # Generic dsi panel with timing overridable >>>> + - panel-dsi >>> >>> ?

It doesn't really need two compatibles (in practice at least), the new generic panel-dsi could be enough - I do believe that devices can be generic, but I admit that I'm not really "fluent" in devicetree and binding descriptions. >Best regards, >Krzysztof Best regards /Johan
