[PATCH v2 3/8] drm/bridge: simplify bridge timing info

Stefan Agner stefan at agner.ch
Wed Sep 12 18:32:17 UTC 2018


Bridges are typically connected to a parallel display signal with
pixel clock, sync signals and data lines. Parallel display signals
are also used in lower-end embedded display panels. For parallel
display panels we currently do not specify setup/hold times. From
discussions on the mailing list it seems not convincing that this
is currently really required for bridges either.

Remove setup/hold timings again to better align timing information
of displays and briges.
