[RFC 2/2] dt-bindings: mipi-dsi: Add dual-channel DSI related info

Tue Dec 5 10:33:56 UTC 2017


Add binding info for peripherals that support dual-channel DSI. Add
corresponding optional bindings for DSI host controllers that may
be configured in this mode.

+Peripherals that support dual channel DSI
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Peripherals with higher bandwidth requirements can be connected to 2 DSI
+busses. Each DSI bus/channel drives some portion of the pixel data (generally
+left/right half of each line of the display, or even/odd lines of the display).
+The graph bindings should be used to represent the multiple DSI busses that are

+an input endpoint of the DSI peripheral.
