The THC63LVDM83D is a transparent LVDS encoder. Unlike dumb LVDS encoders it can be controlled through a few pins (power down, LVDS swing, clock edge selection) and requires power supplies. However, on several boards where the device is used neither the control pins nor the power supply are controllable. To avoid developing a separate device-specific driver add a "thine,thc63lvdm83d" compatible entry to the lvds-encoder driver. This will allow supporting many THC63LVDM83D-based boards easily, while allowing future development of an thc63lvdm83d driver when needed without breaking backward compatibility.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
