+U-boot sunxi video controller driver
+====================================
+
+U-boot supports hdmi and lcd output on Allwinner sunxi SoCs, lcd output
+requires the CONFIG_VIDEO_LCD_MODE Kconfig value to be set.
+
+The sunxi u-boot driver supports the following video-mode options:
+
+- monitor=[none|dvi|hdmi|lcd] - Select the video output to use
+ none:     Disable video output.
+ dvi/hdmi: Selects output over the hdmi connector with dvi resp. hdmi output
+           format, if edid is used the format is automatically selected.
+ lcd:      Selects video output to a LCD screen.
+ vga:      Selects bideo output over the VGA connector.
+ Defaults to monitor=dvi.
+
+- hpd=[0|1] - Enable use of the hdmi HotPlug Detect feature
+ 0: Disabled. Configure dvi/hdmi output even if no cable is detected
+ 1: Enabled. If a LCD has been configured fallback to the LCD when no cable is
+    detected, if no LCD is configured, disable video ouput.
+ Defaults to hpd=1.
+
+- edid=[0|1] - Enable use of DDC + EDID to get monitor info
+ 0: Disabled.
+ 1: Enabled. If valid EDID info was read from the monitor the EDID info will
+    overrides the xres, yres and refresh from the video-mode env. variable.
+ Defaults to edid=1.
+
+For example to always use the hdmi connector, even if no cable is inserted,
+using edid info when available and otherwise initalizing it at 1024x768@60Hz,
+use: video-mode=sunxi:1024x768-24@60,monitor=dvi,hpd=0,edid=1 .
