dt-bindings: display: ti: Add schema for AM625 OLDI Transmitter
The OLDI transmitters (TXes) do not have registers of their own, and are dependent on the source video-ports (VPs) from the DSS to provide configuration data. This hardware doesn't directly sit on the internal bus of the SoC, but does so via the DSS. Hence, the OLDI TXes are supposed to be child nodes under the DSS, and not independent devices. Two of the OLDI TXes can function in tandem to output dual-link OLDI output, or cloned single-link outputs. In these cases, one OLDI will be the primary OLDI, and the other one, a companion. The following diagram represents such a configuration. +-----+-----+ +-------+ | | | | | | | VP1 +----+--->+ OLDI0 | (Primary - may need companion) | | | | | | | DSS +-----+ | +-------+ | | | | | | VP2 | | +-------+ | | | | | | +-----+-----+ +--->+ OLDI1 | (Companion OLDI) | | +-------+ The DSS in AM625 SoC has a configuration like the one above. The AM625 DSS VP1 (port@0) can connect and control 2 OLDI TXes, to use them in dual-link or cloned single-link OLDI modes. It is only the VP1 that can connect to either OLDI TXes for the AM625 DSS, and not the VP2. Alternatively, on some future TI SoCs, along with the above configuration, the OLDI TX can _also_ connect to separate video sources, making them work entirely independent of each other. In this case, neither of the OLDIs are "companion" or "secondary" OLDIs, and nor do they require one. They both are independent and primary OLDIs. The following diagram represents such a configuration. +-----+-----+ +-------+ | | | | | | | VP1 +--+----------->+ OLDI0 | (Primary - may need companion) | | | | | | | +-----+ | +-------+ | | | | | | VP2 | | | | | | | DSS +-----+ | +---+ +-------+ | | | +-->+ M | | | | | VP3 +----->+ U +--->+ OLDI1 | (Companion or Primary) | | | | X | | | | +-----+ +---+ +-------+ | | | | | VP4 | | | | +-----+-----+ Note that depending on the mux configuration, the OLDIs can either be working together in tandem - sourced by VP1, OR, they could be working independently sourced by VP1 and VP3 respectively. The idea is to support all the configurations with this OLDI TX schema. The OLDI functionality is further supported by a system-control module, which contains a few registers to control OLDI IO power and other electrical characteristics of the IO lanes. Add devicetree binding schema for the OLDI TXes to support various configurations, and extend their support to the AM625 DSS. Signed-off-by:Aradhya Bhatia <a-bhatia1@ti.com> Signed-off-by:
