Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 7/9] media: mtk-mdp: use mdp-rdma0 alias to point to
 MDP master

Hi Eizan,

Firstly, about how to determine the master mdp driver, we also can
judge the component type. The component type can be gotten by calling
of_device_get_match_data(dev). If the component is MTK_MDP_RDMA, it is
the master driver. No matter it is mdp_rdma0 or mdp_rdma1.

Secondly, about supporting the multiple MDP master device nodes, you
can try my advice in my previous comment after the completion of this
series of patches.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Houlong
