Shouldn't depend on OF? I mean, is a DRM driver for Open Firmware after all :)

I know that the old drivers/video/fbdev/offb.c doesn't, but I think that is a
but and should `depends on OF || COMPILE_TEST`

These two helpers are the same that we already have in simpledrm.c, maybe could
include a preparatory patch that moves to drivers/gpu/drm/drm_format_helper.c
and make them public for drivers to use ? Or maybe even as static inline in
include/drm/drm_format_helper.h ?

I think is customary now to add /* fall through */ here to silence GCC warns ?

All these helpers seems to be quite generic and something that other OF
drivers could benefit from. Maybe add them to drivers/gpu/drm/drm_of.c ?

Unsure about this one, I don't see other display driver using a "vendor-id"
or "device-id" when looking at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/, so guess
this one would have to remain in the driver and not in a helper library.

But since you have #ifdefery here, maybe would be cleaner to have that stub
defined as static inline in include/drm/drm_of.h ?

This seems like another candidate to move to the include/drm/drm_of.h header.

Maybe a comment here about the clock value chosen ?

Ah, was this the issue that you mentioned the other day? How interesting.

Wonder if makes sense to keep this commented and the TODO, why not
leave that format from first version and just do it as follow-up ?

All of the callbacks used comes from helper libraries so I maybe we
could have a macro or something to set those ? It's the same set that
are used in simpledrm so it would make sense to have them defined in
the same place.

Same for these. We could also have a macro to define this for both
simpledrm and ofdrm.

Nice optimization to cache this.

Interesting. Did you find some formats that were not supported ?

The rest of the patch looks good to me, thanks a lot for writing this.
