	There is an increasing number of new simple panels. Common for many of these simple panels are that they have one mandatory power-supply and some of them have backlight and / or an enable gpio. The binding file to describe these panels adds overhead that really do not add value. The binding are known and there is nothing gained from a dedicated binding file nor for any dedicated example. The following patch introduces a single panel-simple.yaml and converts two ampire bindings over to the new file. The conversion - if applied will have following effects: - The maintainer for the individual file will change There is no need for many different maintainers for a simple binding. We have the same situation with the panel-simple driver in the kernel. - The license will change to (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause) There is usually only a single line copied from the original file, a line that is often copied from a datasheet. This license change should be acceptable considered what little is copied. If the license change is not OK we can use a dedicated binding file in these cases. This is a follow-up on Rob's big patch converting a lot of panel bindings to individual files: "dt-bindings: display: Convert a bunch of panels to DT schema" https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1197683/ The objectives with one file for the relevant simple panels are: - Make it simpler to add bindings for simple panels - Keep the number of bindings file lower and thus easier to find a relevant file to copy from when adding new panels. - Keep the binding documentation for simple panels more consistent - Make it simpler to add support for new panels v3: - Whitespace fix (checkpatch) - Indent compatible (Rob h) - Indent comments to give compatible more visibility (Rob h) v2: - spelling fixes (imirkin via irc, Rob) - updated description (Rob) - list properires in alphabetical order - added power-supply to example (Rob) - updated title - reworded changelog a little Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Reviewed-by: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Benjamin Gaignard <benjamin.gaignard@linaro.org> Cc: Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@gmail.com> Cc: Maxime Ripard <mripard@kernel.org> Cc: Yannick Fertre <yannick.fertre@st.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Cc: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Cc: devicetree@vger.kernel.org Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200102101712.5085-2-sam@ravnborg.org
2015-10-22	dt-bindings: consolidate display related bindings	Rob Herring
	This is a quite large renaming to consolidate display related bindings into a single "display" directory from various scattered locations of video, drm, gpu, fb, mipi, and panel. The prior location was somewhat based on the Linux driver location, but bindings should be independent of that.
