Hi,
thanks for the patch. I already wondered if the DPI value should be
configurable in some way.

Is this something that is already supported by some device, or just a
pet project of yours?

I'd use 32 bits in the DT, just like the other properties.

The alignment looks off.

You mean *value = 0 ?
I think we should be stricter here. Look at the docs at [1]. A result of
0 means success and -EINVAL means that the property does not exist. We
should still report errors for the other errno codes.
Something like
ret = of_property_read_u16()
if (ret) {
if(ret == -EINVAL) {
*value = 0;
ret= 0;
} else {
drm_err(dev, "simplefb: cannot parse framebuffer %s:
"error %d\n", name, ret);
}
}
return ret;

Please move 'dimensions' to the previous line to make it more pleasant
to the eyes.

The coding style is awkward and the ?: doesn't belong here. Please see
further below.

Init those two variables to zero.

Just like with the framebuffer stride, here's the place to detect
default values. So at this point, do something like
if (!width_mm)
width_mm = DRM_MODE_RES_MM(width, 96ul);
if (!height_mm)
height_mm = DRM_MODE_RES_MM(height, 96ul);
And pass the initialized physical dimensions to simpldrm_mode(). You can
move the comment in simpledrm_mode() before the branches.
Best regards
