VENC type (composite/svideo) doesn't have to be fixed by board wiring, it is possible to provide both connectors, which is what pandora does. Having to recompile the kernel for users who have TV connector types that's don't match default board setting is very inconvenient, especially
You don't have to recompile the kernel, you could just set the venc type in the board file depending on a boot parameter.
for users of a consumer device, so add support for switching VENC type at runtime over a new sysfs file venc_type.
I really dislike adding new custom sysfs entries for omapdss, and I'd like to avoid them if at all possible. Do you need to change the venc type during runtime, or is it enough that it can be set during boot? Tomi
