Re: [PATCH V2 1/2] imx-drm: imx-hdmi: split imx soc specific code from imx-hdmi

[Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel]

This one patch does too much to be reviewed easily.

One patch is supposed to modify/add one thing at a time in the kernel.

Separating platform specific code from imx-drm/imx-hdmi is one thing.

Adding support for multi-byte register access is something different.

i.e. Something like.
1/3 split platform specific code out.
2/3 move/rename imx-hdmi outside the folder
3/3 add support for multi byte register width access.

If there are other things that are not directly relevant to the patch,
it goes in a different patch. Bug fixes are also separate.

This should result in readable patches that can be reviewed easily.

Also, the approach with 4 byte access is ok. But you could use reg-shifts as well perhaps.
Then you won't have to change so much of the code.

static inline void hdmi_writeb(struct dwc_hdmi *hdmi, u8 val, int offset)
+{
+ writeb(val, hdmi->regs + (offset << hdmi->reg_shift));
+}
+
+static inline u8 hdmi_readb(struct dwc_hdmi *hdmi, int offset)
+{
+ return readb(hdmi->regs + (offset << hdmi->reg_shift));
+}

And then in probe

+hdmi->reg_shift = 0;
+
+ if (of_property_read_u32(np, "reg-shift", &hdmi->reg_shift))
+ dev_warn(hdmi->dev, "No reg-shift\n");

This way the reg-shift property can be defined using DT
