The LVDS encoders in the D3 and E3 SoCs differ significantly from those
in the other R-Car Gen3 family members:

- The LVDS PLL architecture is more complex and requires computing PLL
  parameters manually.
- The PLL uses external clocks as inputs, which need to be retrieved
  from DT.
- In addition to the different PLL setup, the startup sequence has
  changed *again* (seems someone had trouble making his/her mind).

Supporting all this requires DT bindings extensions for external clocks,
brand new PLL setup code, and a few quirks to handle the differences in
the startup sequence.

The implementation doesn't support all hardware features yet, namely

- Using the LV[01] clocks generated by the CPG as PLL input.
- Providing the LVDS PLL clock to the DU for use with the RGB output.

Those features can be added later when the need will arise.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
