Hi Mody Ho,

Thank you for your patch. Some comments below.

Please fix your git configuration, I assume this should be something
like Moudy Ho <moudy.ho@xxxxxxxxxxxx>. Note that the author and the

In general please use a more verbose commit messages, you know what
MDP means (I probably also know, but not everyone knows what MDP
means) It is a good practice to when you introduce a new driver to
explain well what is and for what is used.

The first question that I have here is why current MDP driver (that
supports other Mediatek chips like the MT8173) can't be extended to
support MT8183. How different is this MDP driver and why can't share
the code.

This single patch is huge, and is unlikely that anyone spend time
reviewing it just for that. I'd recommend to split it and introduce
step-by-step, functionality by functionally. I also have the
impression that you're just reimplementing things that are actually
upstream or not taking advantage of what is already upstream. i.e the
access to the mmsys registers. Please use current kernel
drivers/interfaces API instead of reimplementing it.

I'd strongly recommend to look at current Mediatek mdp driver and see
if you can add support for MT8183 there, and if not, looks at it as
reference.

Best regards,
  Enric
