Are there users of this function whose DT bindings don't require the width-mm and height-mm properties ?
There is literally one user of this function upstream: drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/panel-mipi-dbi.c
Yes, the function was added for that driver since it was so generic in nature. What about adding an argument to of_get_drm_panel_display_mode() that tells if the properties are mandatory or not?
Sure, we can do that, but maybe the question here is even bigger than this series.
Should every panel set mandatory width_mm/height_mm so e.g. the user space can infer DPI from it and set up scaling accordingly, or should width_mm/height_mm be optional ?
I think width_mm/height_mm should be mandatory for all panels.
Thoughts ?
If this had come up during the review of the driver I would have no problem making it mandatory. It makes sense for DPI. Maybe it's possible to get around the ABI break by getting in a change through -fixes before 5.18 is released? I'm fine with that.
Well that's awesome, the dbi-spi.yaml didn't land in any kernel release yet, so we still have a chance to fix it ?
It entered this merge window.
