Re: [PATCH v7 7/7] media: mtk-mdp: use mdp-rdma0 alias to point to MDP master

[Enric Balletbo i Serra]

Hi Houlong,

Thank you for following up this patchset. I have some questions to try to
understand better the hardware though.

I'm confused, you mean that the component type, aka MTK_MDP_RDMA is only set for
mtk_mdp_rdma0? isn't mtk_dmp_rdma1 also a MTK_MDP_RDMA type? Because looks weird
to me that two rdma have diffent types.

Using an alias like Eizan did is also flexible, you only need to set mdp-rdma0
to point the mdp_rdma1 node.

What I am really interested to know is the differences between the platforms to
understand if this is really a platform hardware property or a software
configurable thing, so would help if you can give use the different use cases
for different SoCs.

For MT8173 which is the master device? is _always_ rdma0 or can also be rdma1?

Or maybe what is not clear here is what exactly means be a master device?

What about MT8183 and other SoCs?

Thanks,
