Patch Review

**1. IRQ handler unconditionally returns `IRQ_HANDLED` and does not clear the interrupt**

```c
+	if (dc->info->family == VS_DC_FAMILY_DCULTRA_LITE) {
+		regmap_read(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_IRQ_STA, &irqs);
+		if (irqs & BIT(0))
+			vs_drm_handle_irq(dc, VSDC_TOP_IRQ_VSYNC(0));
+		return IRQ_HANDLED;
+	}
```

Two issues:
- **No IRQ acknowledge/clear:** After reading `VSDC_DISP_IRQ_STA`, the status is never written back or cleared. If this is a level-triggered interrupt (the DT binding says `IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH`), the interrupt will remain asserted and cause an IRQ storm. The handler needs to write to the status register to clear the pending bit (e.g., `regmap_write(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_IRQ_STA, irqs)` or whatever the hardware's clear mechanism is).
- **Returns `IRQ_HANDLED` even when `irqs == 0`:** If no interrupt bits are set, the handler should return `IRQ_NONE`. This matters if the IRQ line is shared.

**2. `vs_crtc_disable_vblank` uses `regmap_write` with 0, clobbering all IRQ enable bits**

```c
+	if (dc->info->family == VS_DC_FAMILY_DCULTRA_LITE)
+		regmap_write(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_IRQ_EN, 0);
```

This writes 0 to the entire IRQ enable register, clearing all interrupt enables — not just vblank. If other interrupt sources exist in the same register, they'd be silently disabled. Use `regmap_clear_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_IRQ_EN, BIT(0))` for consistency and safety.

Similarly in `vs_crtc_enable_vblank`:
```c
+		regmap_write(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_IRQ_EN, BIT(0));
```
This overwrites the whole register. Use `regmap_set_bits` instead to be safe.

**3. Plane disable on DCUltra Lite is effectively a no-op**

In `vs_primary_plane_atomic_disable`:
```c
-	regmap_set_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_FB_CONFIG_EX(output),
-			VSDC_FB_CONFIG_EX_FB_EN);
+	if (dc->info->has_config_ex)
+		regmap_set_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_FB_CONFIG_EX(output),
+				VSDC_FB_CONFIG_EX_FB_EN);

	vs_primary_plane_commit(dc, output);
```

For DCUltra Lite: `has_config_ex` is false, so the FB_EN set is skipped. Then `vs_primary_plane_commit` also does nothing (it's gated by `has_config_ex`). So disabling the plane writes zero registers. The DCUltra Lite should presumably clear the `VSDC_FB_CONFIG_ENABLE` bit (BIT(0)) in `VSDC_FB_CONFIG` to actually disable the framebuffer. Without this, the plane can never be turned off.

**4. Plane enable sets both ENABLE and RESET bits simultaneously during update**

```c
+	/* DCUltra Lite requires explicit enable/reset bits in FB_CONFIG */
+	if (!dc->info->has_config_ex)
+		regmap_set_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_FB_CONFIG(output),
+				VSDC_FB_CONFIG_ENABLE | VSDC_FB_CONFIG_RESET);
```

Setting the RESET bit (bit 4) every frame update is suspicious. The cover letter describes bit 4 as "reset" — does this reset the framebuffer pipeline on every update? If RESET is meant to be a one-shot initialization, it should only be asserted once during enable (or asserted then deasserted). Setting it on every `atomic_update` could cause visual glitches or partial frame resets. Please clarify the hardware semantics of FB_CONFIG bit 4.

**5. The OF match table uses `"verisilicon,dc"` as a standalone compatible**

```c
 static const struct of_device_id vs_dc_driver_dt_match[] = {
-	{ .compatible = "verisilicon,dc" },
+	{ .compatible = "verisilicon,dc", .data = &vs_dc8000_info },
+	{ .compatible = "nuvoton,ma35d1-dcu", .data = &vs_dcultra_lite_info },
```

The existing DT binding for TH1520 uses a two-element compatible: `"thead,th1520-dc8200", "verisilicon,dc"`. The driver matches on the fallback `"verisilicon,dc"`. This is fine for now, but when/if a TH1520-specific sub-schema is added with a different `vs_dc_info`, the match order will matter. No change needed now, just something to keep in mind.

**6. `vs_dc8000_info` does not set `display_count` or `formats`**

```c
+static const struct vs_dc_info vs_dc8000_info = {
+	.family = VS_DC_FAMILY_DC8000,
+	.has_chip_id = true,
+	.has_config_ex = true,
+	.regmap_cfg = &vs_dc8000_regmap_cfg,
+};
```

`display_count` defaults to 0 and `formats` defaults to NULL. For DC8000 this is fine because `has_chip_id = true` means these are read from hardware registers. But the `vs_dc_info` docstring says `@display_count: number of display outputs (0 = auto-detect from DT/HW)` — this could be confusing since 0 doesn't mean "auto-detect from DT" here; it means "read from chip identity registers". The comment should be more precise.

**7. Error path in `vs_dc_probe` doesn't re-assert resets for DCUltra Lite (correct but asymmetric)**

```c
 err_rst_assert:
-	reset_control_bulk_assert(VSDC_RESET_COUNT, dc->rsts);
+	if (info->family == VS_DC_FAMILY_DC8000)
+		reset_control_bulk_assert(VSDC_RESET_COUNT, dc->rsts);
```

This is correct — DCUltra Lite doesn't get resets, so there's nothing to assert. But the pattern of checking `info->family == VS_DC_FAMILY_DC8000` in multiple places for reset handling suggests a helper or a flag (e.g., `has_resets`) would be cleaner than family enum checks scattered through probe/remove/error paths.

**8. The `vs_bridge_atomic_disable` reordering may change DC8000 behavior**

```c
-	regmap_clear_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_PANEL_START,
-			  VSDC_DISP_PANEL_START_MULTI_DISP_SYNC |
-			  VSDC_DISP_PANEL_START_RUNNING(output));
 	regmap_clear_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_PANEL_CONFIG(output),
 			  VSDC_DISP_PANEL_CONFIG_RUNNING);

-	regmap_set_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_PANEL_CONFIG_EX(crtc->id),
-			VSDC_DISP_PANEL_CONFIG_EX_COMMIT);
+	if (dc->info->has_config_ex) {
+		regmap_clear_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_PANEL_START, ...);
+		regmap_set_bits(dc->regs, VSDC_DISP_PANEL_CONFIG_EX(crtc->id),
+				VSDC_DISP_PANEL_CONFIG_EX_COMMIT);
+	}
```

The original code cleared `PANEL_START` *before* clearing `PANEL_CONFIG_RUNNING`. The new code clears `PANEL_CONFIG_RUNNING` first, then `PANEL_START` (inside the `if`). This reordering may or may not matter for DC8000 hardware, but it's a silent behavioral change for the existing variant. The original ordering should be preserved for DC8000 to avoid regressions.

**Summary of required fixes before this can be merged:**
1. Fix IRQ handler to clear interrupt status and return `IRQ_NONE` when no interrupt is pending
2. Use `regmap_set_bits`/`regmap_clear_bits` for VSDC_DISP_IRQ_EN instead of `regmap_write`
3. Implement actual framebuffer disable for DCUltra Lite (clear VSDC_FB_CONFIG_ENABLE)
4. Clarify FB_CONFIG RESET bit semantics — avoid setting it on every frame update if it's a one-shot
5. Preserve the original register write ordering in `vs_bridge_atomic_disable` for DC8000
6. Fix `additionalProperties: true` in the base binding (use `unevaluatedProperties: false`)
