Ah, I think Rob took it through his tree already. Probably my fault also, I hope
I had not forgotten to Cc: you on the binding patch ...

You're right.

Actually depth is not a "hardware" caracteristic. Moreover it's just used as an
overlay for pxafb_set_pixfmt() to superseed var->bits_per_pixel. I'm wondering
if the right path for of_get_pxafb_mode_info() would be to remove completely
depth, and leave it initialized at 0 for the DT case.

What do you think of this approach ? The other one would be to modify the
binding, and yet I feel this depth doesn't belong to the binding, it's my patch
which requires another spin IMHO.

Cheers.
