hi Dave :
that's means the panel driver split into 3 sub-modules:
panel + panel_bridge + regulator.

I have a question: in the  
static int rpi_touchscreen_probe(struct i2c_client *i2c)
{
	......

	ver = rpi_touchscreen_i2c_read(ts, REG_ID);
	if (ver < 0) {
		dev_err(dev, "Atmel I2C read failed: %d\n", ver);
		return -ENODEV;
	}

	switch (ver) {
	case 0xde: /* ver 1 */
	case 0xc3: /* ver 2 */
		break;
	default:
		dev_err(dev, "Unknown Atmel firmware revision: 0x%02x\n", ver);
		return -ENODEV;
	}

	......
}
i think this "I2C read" can use to detect whether the panel is connected to dsi controller.

and when split the panel driver into 3 sub-modules, it seems the default way is connected.
if I drop the panel , run modetest to check the connector status , result connected.
Is there any way to detect the connection in this case? 
Thanks



-------------------------------------

Where did the new timings come from?

-------------------------------------
My platform dphy tx hardware has certain limitations.
Only supports integer multiples of 10M bitrate: 
such as 160M ,170M, 180M,190M,...1G(max)

as common dphy bitrate = pixclock*bpp/lanes.
This value cannot match successfully in most cases.

so in order to match bitrate , I choose a bitrate value around pixclock*bpp/lanes,
Prevent overflow and underflow by fine-tuning the timing parameters:-(
that will make the new timming value.
