"controlled by FW"? such as what is the data width of FW required, is that
fixed or user can change? in other words, should i use different that FW to
do different data width, sync clock and sst clock? also, i found the TIZEN
have some different FW for download in INTEL website in
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23903/Intel-Atom-Processor-E3800-Series-Linux-support-package-LPE-Firmware-for-Tizen-IVI-3-0-M2-Kernel-3-10-LTSI,
can i use those FW to load to mainline kernel to support different mode of
LPE, such as the master/slave mode with different sync, main clock?

thanks
