At-least few of the commands from panel initialization code, the respective opcode data values are based on panel timings and even clock value is different in DSI. I think it look hard to try bridge driver for these restrictions, do you have any suggestions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
