[RFC PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: display: ti,am65x-dss: Add support for display sharing mode

From: Devarsh Thakkar
Date: Tue Jan 16 2024 - 08:42:25 EST


Add support for using TI Keystone DSS hardware present in display
sharing mode.

TI Keystone DSS hardware supports partitioning of resources between
multiple hosts as it provides separate register space and unique
interrupt line to each host.

The DSS hardware can be used in shared mode in such a way that one or
more of video planes can be owned by Linux wherease other planes can be
owned by remote cores.

One or more of the video ports can be dedicated exclusively to a
processing core, wherease some of the video ports can be shared between
two hosts too with only one of them having write access.

+ One of the host is provided access to the global display
