Question is why *I* should then make this patch and not someone else...

I am not necessarily a volunteer to contribute to non-jz4780 code just because I want to upstream jz4780 code.

Well on the other side of the fence it is maintainers responsibility to give clear and understandable rules and guidance about what will be accepted and to enable us to bring it into the shape he/she has in mind.

But a fundamental problem is: "good shape" is very subjective. What would you recommend me to do, if I feel that my proposed code is in better shape than what the maintainer thinks or recommends?

I reasoned about doing an additional platform_get_resource() call and doing a subtraction. This is additional execution time. Maybe not worth thinking about because it is in the probe function. And using devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() is of course potentially better.

regmap allocates memory for its cache. Usually the total amount specified in the reg property.

If I look into some .dtsi it is sometimes that way but sometimes not. There seems to be no consistent rule.

So does this mean you allow me to modify jz4740.dtsi, jz4770.dtsi and jz4725b.dtsi as well (as mentioned above: this is beyond the scope of my project)?

This wastes a handful bytes for all non-jz4780 chips but less than using the DTS memory region size. And is less code (no entry in soc_info tables, no modifyable copy) and faster code execution than all other proposals.

Look friend, if you explain your "no" and what is wrong with my arguments, it helps to understand your decisions and learn something from them. A plain "no" does not help anyone.

So to summarize: if you prefer something which I consider worse, it is ok for me... In the end you are right - you are the maintainer, not me. So you have to live with your proposals.

Therefore, I have prepared new variants so you can choose which one is easier to maintain for you.

Note that they are both preparing for full jz4780-lcdc/hdmi support but in very different ways:

Variant 1 already adds some jz4780 stuff while Variant 2 just prepares for it.

Variant 2 is not tested (except to compile). So it needs some Tested-by: from someone with access to hardware. IMHO it is more invasive.

And don't forget: DTB could be in ROM or be provided by a separate bootloader... So we should not change it too often (I had such discussions some years ago with maintainers when I thought it is easier to change DTS instead of code).

Variant 3 would be to not separate this. As proposed in [PATCH v5 2/7].
(Finally, a Variant 3b would be to combine the simple change from Variant 1 with Variant 3).

So what is your choice?

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus

Subject: [PATCH] RFC: drm/ingenic: Add register definitions for JZ4780 lcdc

JZ4780 has additional registers compared to the other
SoC of the JZ47xx series. So we add the constants for
registers and bits we make use of (there are even more
which can be added later).

And we increase the regmap max_register accordingly.

Subject: [PATCH] RFC: drm/ingenic: prepare ingenic drm for later addition of
JZ4780

This changes the way the regmap is allocated to prepare for the
later addition of the JZ4780 which has more registers and bits
than the others.

To make this work we have to change the device tree records of
all devices so that the reg property is limited to the physically
available registers.

The magic value 0x130 in the device tree is JZ_REG_LCD_SIZE1 + 4.

Note that it is not tested since I have no access to the hardware.
