So there are 2 questions spinning in my mind:
- In case if you are maybe aware, if there were any intentions to do
this migration before? (maybe someone asked similar questions or even send some patches, but didn't manage to upstream that; or did similar stuff in some downstream U-boot forks, whatever). Unfortunately I can't any information regarding this in U-boot ML archives .
I'm not aware of any activity migrating this driver to DM_VIDEO. Patches welcome.
- Will it be OK if I introduce a brand new mxsfb driver (ported from
Linux), which will be used only when U-boot is built with CONFIG_DM_VIDEO enabled? Existing mxsfb will be left as it is, so I can be removed easily when full migration to DM is done for all boards that are using this driver.
I have no objections. However I don't know how big is the Linux mxsfb driver, maybe we could reduce not needed code to keep the code size smaller.
