Re: [PATCH RFC v7 1/6] dt-bindings: display: add Unisoc's drm master bindings

[Kevin Tang]

Hi Rob,
Component framework include master and component, here is master subnode.
It seems that everyone else does it, why not me?

Your comments on v6:
"We generally try to avoid this virtual node as it doesn't represent
any h/w. Can't you bind the driver to the DPU directly?"

I'm sorry, maybe is my careless, I still don't understand why and how to do it
