OK, then, as the linux tda998x driver handles only the tda 19988 and 19989 chips, the HDMI I2C address is always 0x70.
So, question: Russell and Sebastian, do you still want an other patch?
Other question: the CEC address is hard-coded to 0x34 in the driver. Should it be configurable in the DT?
As we haven't had a mainline non-rc kernel release with this in yet, we have more scope in what we can do to sort this out. What I'd suggest is:
1. change the DT compatible strings the driver has to accept both nxp,tda19988 and nxp,tda19989, and set the appropriate device in the DT file (tda19988). I'm a bit nervous about using "nxp,tda1998x" in case we're clashing with devices with different characteristics.
2. specify that the i2c reg address must exist, but not specify what it should be - leave that open.
3. assume that there's a CEC at 0x34 for these two devices.
If we wish to extend support to tda998x, then we'd need to modify the driver quite a bit anyway.
