I try to follow as you suggested,use

mipi_dsi: mipi at ff960000 {
     ...
     ...
     clock-master;    /* implies that this DSI instance drivers the clock
              * for both the DSIs.
              */
     ports {
         mipi_in: port {
             ...
             ...
         };
         /* add extra output ports for both DSIs */
         mipi_out: port {
             mipi_panel_out: endpoint {
                 remote-endpoint = <&panel_in_channel0>;
             };
         };
     };
     panel {
         ...
         ...
         /*
          * panel node can describe its input ports, if both the DSIs output
          * ports are connected to the same device (i.e, the same DSI 
panel),
          * we can assume that the DSIs need to operate in dual DSI mode
          */
         ports {
             ...
             port at 0 {
                 panel_in_channel0: endpoint {
                     remote-endpoint = <&mipi_panel_out>;
                 };
             };
             port at 1 {
                 panel_in_channel1: endpoint {
                     remote-endpoint = <&mipi1_panel_out>;
                 };

             };
         };
     };
};

mipi_dsi1: mipi at ff968000 {
     ...
     ...
     ports {
         mipi1_in: port {
             ...
             ...
         };
         mipi1_out: port {
             mipi1_panel_out: endpoint {
                 remote-endpoint = <&panel_in_channel1>;
             };
         };
     };
}

But it seems we can not use of_drm_find_panel(like below)

/*
         port = of_graph_get_port_by_id(dev->of_node, 1);
         if (port) {
                 endpoint = of_get_child_by_name(port, "endpoint");
                 of_node_put(port);
                 if (!endpoint) {
                         dev_err(dev, "no output endpoint found\n");
                         return -EINVAL;
                 }
                 panel_node = of_graph_get_remote_port_parent(endpoint);
                 of_node_put(endpoint);
                 if (!panel_node) {
                         dev_err(dev, "no output node found\n");
                         return -EINVAL;
                 }
                 panel = of_drm_find_panel(panel_node);
                 of_node_put(panel_node);
                 if (!panel)
                         return -EPROBE_DEFER;
         }
*/
to get DSI1 outputs,because of_drm_find_panel need compare

if (panel->dev->of_node == np)

in dsi_panel driver innolux->base.dev = &innolux->link->dev;
dsi->dev

struct innolux_panel {
         struct drm_panel base;
         struct mipi_dsi_device *link;
};
It means one panel can only be found in his dsi node,(like dsi0 above).

I'm doubting about it, Or  may we follow tegra_dsi_ganged_probe
(drivers/gpu/drm/tergra/dsi.c) method.


Thanks,
Nickey
