Looking at the register set, it seems to match the Exynos 5433, supported by drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dsi.c. Can we leverage that driver instead of adding a new one for the same IP core ?Yes. there was an attempt from Michael in this direction: https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpatchwork.kernel.org%2Fproject%2Fdri-devel%2Fcover%2F20200911135413.3654800-1-m.tretter%40pengutronix.de%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cfrieder.schrempf%40kontron.de%7C52db05459ef0462d5a9b08d936eab1ba%7C8c9d3c973fd941c8a2b1646f3942daf1%7C0%7C0%7C637601203901391193%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=LTYk9kpUeB9bgfRITQT6wIij3XTOIk37AHXbzQ2UI4Y%3D&reserved=0That's the proper direction (maybe as Marek suggested - sharing common code like for Analogix DP), not duplicating a driver.
Just to make sure that you are aware of the previous patches and discussions here are some additional pointers: * i.MX8MM glue code from Marek (+ Cc): [1] * DPHY driver from Marek: [2] * General discussion about driver implementation: [3] * Daniel's (+ Cc) suggested direction to move forward: [4] It looks like you already did a fork of the Exynos driver, so your approach might be generally in line with what Daniel suggested.
