Does it still make sense to hard-code such parameters?
In PowerPC-land we pass display mode information in the device tree using a verbatim EDID block.
Would it be not better (and way more flexible) to do the same here, now that ARM has device tree support?
Thanks for your suggestions.
Currently work for enabling device tree support for EXYNOS4 based machine is going on. Once it is done, we should be able to pass this information through device tree blob.
For non-DT machines, IMHO, we have to follow the current approach.
