Would be better in patch 7/16 to put this stuff at the correct place
(bottom of the file) so it does not need to be moved here.

Same comment as before: include the code of venc_init() and venc_exit()
directly in the ->probe() and ->remove() hooks respectively.

As far as I can see, this function is now only used in venc_init(),
which is in the same file, so the function should be static, and the
prototype removed from drivers/video/omap2/dss/core.h.

I'm also a bit skeptical about what this function does. It is called
this way in venc_init():

  venc.vdda_dac_reg = dss_get_vdda_dac();

so it is dss_get_vdda_dac() responsability to set venc.vdda_dac_reg, or
is it the caller responsability ?

Moreover, the logic in dss_get_vdda_dac() that tests whether
venc.vdda_dac_reg is already initialized seems to indicate that this
function could be called several times. However, I only see it called
from venc_init(), which as far as I understand is called only once.

Isn't it possible to simplify this by removing the dss_get_vdda_dac()
function and just doing:

  venc.vdda_dac_reg = regulator_get(&venc.pdev->dev, "vdda_dac");

in the venc_init() function (which should become the ->probe() method).

Thanks!
