Hi Laurent,

Basically I agree that we need a common panel framework. I just have some questions:

1. I think we should add color format in videomode - if we use such

common video mode structure shared across subsystems. In HDMI, colors are bind with timings tightly. We need a combined videomode with timing and color format together.

What kind of color formats do you have in mind ?

2. I think we should add "set_videomode" interface. It helps HDMI

monitors to set EDIDs.

For panels that support several video modes, sure, we need a way to set the video mode. I don't have access to any such panel though, that's why the operation has been left out. It wouldn't be difficult to add it when a real use case will come up.

What do you mean exactly about HDMI monitors setting EDID ?
