The default BSP release supports sii902x hdmi card via LCDIF in i.MX6 Solo, but doesn't support it via IPU display interface in i.MX6 Dual/Quad/Plus. The patch provides support for the Sii902x HDMI video driver for i.MX6 Dual/Quad/Plus.

If you want sii902x_hdmi to be fb0, you can add following arguments to bootcmd:
video=mxcfb0:dev=sii902x_hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24 video=mxcfb1:off video=mxcfb2:off video=mxcfb2:off consoleblank=0
Risks:
Sometimes the sii902x will fail to read hdmi edid information, and the modelist of this framebuffer will be NULL. At this time, the driver will setup a default video mode which has been tuned on imx6q-sabresd and imx6qp-sabresd. The default video mode is as follows:
/* 1080p @ 56 Hz */
60, 1920, 1080, 7692, 100, 40, 30, 3, 10, 2, 0, FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, 0
The user can modify this default setting for their case.
Specially, there are some risks to use 1080p@60 video mode for imx6qp-sabresd. The hdmi device will has no valid hdmi signal output in this case. For example,
/* 1080p @ 60 Hz */
60, 1920, 1080, 6734, 148, 88, 36, 4, 44, 4, FB_SYNC_HOR_HIGH_ACT | FB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH_ACT, FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, 0
The user sholud set these values according to hareware parameters.
