The patch says:
"DIU supports video at up to 1280x1024x32bpp"
How is this not misleading?
I understand that the patch describes the board, and that's correct. It
should also indicate which major functionality is not supported. I was
expecting something like this:
- Video
- DIU hardware is capable of video up to 1280x1024x32bpp
- DIU support is currently not implemented
There are other things in that description that Linux doesn't do
anything with, such as QIXIS.
Fair enough, but the QIXIS is not something that would generally be
supported by Linux, as there is no "QIXIS driver". There is a DIU
driver, however.
The patch description should state which major components are not
currently supported by software, but would be expected to be supported.
