You are supposed to add _all_ the pipelines that are available and
supported by U-boot. U-boot is then supposed to enable and update
the one it set up.

Looks good to me. There's no separate frontend/backend in DE 2.0.

It looks good to me too.

So, I don't see how this may work.
How can the u-boot know the resolutions of the HDMI display device?

In other words: I have a new H3 board with the last u-boot and kernel.
I plug my (rather old or brand new) HDMI display device.
After powering on the system, I hope to get something on the screen.
How?

If it works like the driver for the first display engine in U-Boot, it
will use the preferred mode reported by the EDID, and will fallback to
1024x768 if it cannot access it.

Maybe it would be worth exchanging on the EDID code that has been done
for the u-boot driver too, so that it can be fixed in your driver.

Then, if it is like in the kernel, the 1024x768 mode is VGA. It does
not work with HDMI (different timings).

The u-boot got my code, and, up to now, I could not fix the random or
permanent failures of EDID reading in some boards.
