Thanks for the explanation! I had seen that call, but failed to discover the
actual fallback mechanism in the code...

Perhaps updating the comment to describe the backward-compatibility mode
would help:

/*
 * First parse the DT vsps property to populate the list of VSPs. Each
 * entry contains a pointer to the VSP DT node and a bitmask of the
 * connected DU CRTCs.
 */

Thanks!

We're missing a DT validator :-/

The vsps property shoould indeed contain indices. However, rcar_du_vsps_init() 
implements a backward-compatibility mode by checking the length of the 
property:

cells = of_property_count_u32_elems(np, "vsps") / rcdu->num_crtcs - 1;

and using that as an argument to of_parse_phandle_with_fixed_args().

According to the bindings, the vsps property should also contain a
channel index.

Laurent added the indices to r8a7795.dtsi, but r8a7795-es.dtsi overrides
that with a version without the indices.
Kieran included the indices when adding DU support for r8a77965 and
r8a77995.

r8a7796.dtsi, r8a77970.dtsi, and r8a77980.dtsi lack the indices.

Commit fd57d77f9c649cf9 ("dt-bindings: display: rcar-du: Add a VSP channel
index to the vsps DT property") says a backwards-compatibility mode can be
implemented, but I fail to see how this can work, as rcar_du_vsps_init()
will just return an error, which is propagated.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
