Hi Andrzej, Laurent,

Thanks for your review.

They are callbacks to the "glue" code, similar the PHY and HPD callbacks,
they will return different encodings and formats depending on the current mode
being atomically set.

in patch 7 & 8 we return the current glue dw_hdmi->input_bus_format
and dw_hdmi->output_bus_format set during the encoder atomic_check()

Yes, we should also pass dw_hdmi along the dw_plat_data->phy_data we
already pass.

It does not, there are fallbacks already in place, where you can override
with static data (the bus encoding and format can be fixed) or dynamic
to solve the yuv420 format.
Amlogic pipeline can *only* output in YUV (444, 422 or 420) so I pushed
support for statically describing the input format and encoding using
V4L2 definitions.

We try to solve 2 things :
- The YUV420 HDMI2.0 mode, but the DW-HDMI CSC cannot convert to/from YUV420, so
it's in passthrought only. So the encoder must output in yuv420 and the controller
must know the input format and the output format, and this dynamically.
- Today the DW-HDMI forces RGB 8bit output, but we may prefer YUV444 or YU422 depending
on the sink and eventually output in 10, 12 or 16bit mode. This logic should
not be in the controller bridge code.

To solve these uses case, we put the logic in the encoder to determine what is
the DW-HDMI input format+encoding and the needed output format+encoding.

Today, the encoding callbacks are not used in this patchset, but they follow the
same scheme.

Can you point me what you have in mind ? I'll be happy to implement it.

These callbacks are only an extension of the hdmi->plat_data->input_bus_format
and hdmi->plat_data->input_bus_encoding I introduced a few times ago.

I'd really like to solve this correctly, but still solve it at some point !
The YUV420 support is handy to easily support 4k60 for cheap and older TVs
without the hassle of SCDC and TMDS scrambling.
