Hi,

That's much better thanks, but I have a bunch of (minor) comments.

The caller would also have to care about whether that pointer is NULL
or not. This is not really a big deal in the commit case that I expect
to always be filled, but it might be for the color correction.

How about defining some inline functions that would check the
mixer_ops pointer and return if it's NULL?

I don't really see why we need the mixer and ops in the CRTC, we
already have it in sun4i_drv, don't we? Can't we just use that
instead?

That would allow just like in the previous patch to loosen the
relationship between the CRTC and what's before it, which will make
our life easier down the road.

I don't really like the "mixer" name here, and backend doesn't seem
appropriate either.

What about "engine"? It sounds more like it covers both cases.

Thanks,
Maxime
