Hi Prabhakar,

+Required Properties :

There are no significant differences among TVP514* devices as listed above,
you would like to handle above ?

Sorry for the mangled sentence, I intended to write "in the driver" instead
of the last "above".

I'm just wondering if you don't need ,for instance, two separate compatible
properties, e.g. "ti,tvp5146-decoder" and "ti,tvp5147-decoder" ?

There are few differences in init/power sequence tough, I would still
like to have
single compatible property "ti,tvp514x-decoder", If you feel we need separate
property I will change it please let me know on this.

As Sekhar already mentioned, wildcards in the compatible property should
not be used. You could just use exact part names in the compatible
properties and list them all in the tvp514x_of_match[] array. Even though
this driver doesn't care about the differences between various tvp514?
chips, there might be others that do.

Do you really need to set client->dev.platform_data this way ?
What about passing struct tvp514x_decoder pointer to this function
and initializing struct tvp514x_decoder::pdata instead ?


Yes that can work too, I'll do the same.

Ok, thanks.

"port");

+ endpoint = of_get_child_by_name(endpoint,
"endpoint");


I think you could replace these two calls above with

endpoint = v4l2_of_get_next_endpoint(client->dev.of_node);

Ok

Now I see I should have modified this function to ensure it works also when
'port' nodes are grouped in a 'ports' node.

So V5 series of V4l OF parser doesn't have this fix ?

No, it doesn't. I think we need something along the lines of:

diff --git a/drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-of.c b/drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-of.c
index e1f570b..8a286f1 100644

- for_each_child_of_node(parent, port) {
+ while (port = of_get_next_child(parent, port)) {
if (!of_node_cmp(port->name, "port"))
break;
- }
+ if (!of_node_cmp(port->name, "ports")) {
+ parent = port;
+ of_node_put(port);
+ port = NULL:
+ }
+ };
if (port) {
/* Found a port, get an endpoint. */
endpoint = of_get_next_child(port, NULL);

However this shouldn't affect you, as you don't use the 'ports' node...
I will likely post v6 including this fix tomorrow.
