Hi,
(CC'ing the linux-media mailing list, as video modes are of interest there as
well)

I agree. We should flag errors and fail instead of trying to fix them
silently. That's the only way to make sure that device tree authors will get
it right (or at least less wrong). We might need to accept wrong DT data later
to support buggy devices found in the wild, but we should not start that way.

Shouldn't this use drm_mode_modeinfo instead of drm_display_mode ?

You could replace of_video_get_value(&vm->hactive) with dmode->hdisplay here,
and similarly below (hsync_end = hsync_start + of_video_get_value(&vm-
>hsync_len), ...). Beside shortening lines, it would save calls to
of_video_get_value().

disp is only used to retrieve the mode, you could pass a struct videomode
instead of disp and index.
Thinking about it, I would make videomode_to_display_mode take a struct
videomode as well. The only reason it needs struct display is to get the
display physical dimensions. Those are only used in very specific cases in the
DRM subsystem, I don't think they should be copied to every struct
drm_mode_modeinfo.

What are those two functions used for ? Aren't drivers expected to parse the
modes into a struct display and then operate on that structure, instead of
getting individual modes from the DT node ?

default_mode and num_modes are non-negative, what about using an unsigned int

If feel this is an important topic.
A generic video mode structure is definitely needed, as well as helper
functions to convert between the new structure and existing video mode
structures (struct fb_videomode, struct drm_mode_modeinfo and struct
v4l2_bt_timings). The structure and the helper functions should be generic, as
the goal is to gradually replace subsystem-specific video mode structures
where possible (userspace APIs will still need to keep the old structures). We
thus need to drop the dependency on OF for everything but the DT parsing code.
For that reason an of_ prefix wouldn't be a good idea. As the goal is to
create a truly generic video mode structure, a generic name is a good idea (I
might prefer struct video_mode instead of struct videomode, but that's just
bikeshedding).
We might need two video mode structures, one to represent a video mode, and
one to represent a range of video modes. I don't have enough experience with
video modes to have a really strong opinion on this, having a single structure
to represent both could be useful as well. This particular topic needs to be
discussed.
