1. stiH display hardware IP---------------------------The STMicroelectronics stiH SoCs use a common chain of HW display IP blocks:- The High Quality Video Display Processor (HQVDP) gets video frames from a  video decoder and does high quality video processing, including scaling. - The Compositor is a multiplane, dual-mixer (Main & Aux) digital processor. It  has several inputs:  - The graphics planes are internally processed by the Generic Display    Pipeline (GDP).  - The video plug (VID) connects to the HQVDP output.  - The cursor handles ... a cursor.- The TV OUT pre-formats (convert, clip, round) the compositor output data- The HDMI / DVO / HD Analog / SD analog IP builds the video signals  - DVO (Digital Video Output) handles a 24bits parallel signal  - The HD analog signal is typically driven by a YCbCr cable, supporting up to    1080i mode.  - The SD analog signal is typically used for legacy TV- The VTG (Video Timing Generators) build Vsync signals used by the other HW IPNote that some stiH drivers support only a subset of thee HW IP.                   .-------------.   .-----------.   .-----------.GPU >-------------+GDP     Main |   |           +---+    HDMI   +--> HDMIGPU >-------------+GDP     mixer+---+           |   :===========:GPU >-------------+Cursor       |   |           +---+    DVO    +--> 24b//        -------   |  COMPOSITOR |   |  TV OUT   |   :===========:       |       |  |             |   |           +---+ HD analog +--> YCbCrVid >--+ HQVDP +--+VID     Aux  +---+           |   :===========:dec    |       |  |        mixer|   |           +---+ SD analog +--> CVBS       '-------'  '-------------'   '-----------'   '-----------'                   .-----------.                   |       main+--> Vsync                   | VTG       |                   |        aux+--> Vsync                   '-----------' 2. DRM / HW mapping-------------------These IP are mapped to the DRM objects as following:- The CRTCs are mapped to the Compositor Main and Aux Mixers- The Framebuffers and planes are mapped to the Compositor GDP (non video  buffers) and to HQVDP+VID (video buffers)- The Cursor is mapped to the Compositor Cursor- The Encoders are mapped to the TVOut- The Bridges/Connectors are mapped to the HDMI / DVO / HD Analog / SD analog FB & planes         Cursor      CRTC     Encoders    Bridges/Connectors   |                   |          |         |                       |   |                   |          |         |                       |   |              .-------------. | .-----------.   .-----------.   |   +------------> |GDP |   Main | | |       +-> |   |    HDMI   | <-+   +------------> |GDP v   mixer|<+ |       |   |   :===========:   |   |              |Cursor       | | |       +-> |   |    DVO    | <-+   |    -------   |  COMPOSITOR | | |TV OUT |   |   :===========:   |   |   |       |  |             | | |       +-> |   | HD analog | <-+   +-> | HQVDP |  |VID     Aux  |<+ |       |   |   :===========:   |       |       |  |        mixer|   |       +-> |   | SD analog | <-+       '-------'  '-------------'   '-----------'   '-----------'
