Subject: [RFC][PATCH] drm: kirin: Restrict modes to known good mode clocks

Currently the hikey dsi logic cannot generate accurate byte
clocks values for all pixel clock values. Thus if a mode clock
is selected that cannot match the calculated byte clock, the
device will boot with a blank screen.

This patch uses the new mode_valid callback (many thanks to
Jose Abreu for upstreaming it!) to enforces known good mode
clocks for well known resolutions, which should allow the
display to work from given EDID options, and ensures for a given
resolution & refresh, the right mode clock is selected.

Bikeshed incoming:

Can you break this out into a lookup table? It's kind of long-winded as-is. It'd
be even better if you could calculate whether the mode is valid, but I didn't
spend enough time to figure out if this is possible.

That's fair. The list has slowly grown from 4 or so modes to what it
is now, so it is a bit longer then it was originally.

I'll spin the patches with that change.

Theoretically that might be possible, checking if the requested freq
matches the calculated freq, and I've tried that but so far I've not
been able to get it to work, as in some cases the freq on the current
whitelist don't exactly match but do work on the large majority of
monitors tested (while other freq have a similar error but don't work
on most monitors).

I'd like to spend some more time to try to refine and tune this, but
having the current whitelist works fairly well, so I'm not sure its
worth sitting on (this is basically the last functional patch
outstanding for HiKey to fully work upstream - except the mali gpu of
course), while I try to tinker and tune it.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Yeah the proper approach is to compute your pll/clock settings and bail
out if those don't work. That's generally a magic spreadsheet supplied by
the hw validation engineers, and I honestly don't want to know how they
create it. Explicit modelist in the kernel sounds like a very bad hack.

So without such a magic spreadsheet, how would you suggest I move this forward?
Not having the whitelist hack and picking modes the device can't
generate is a fairly major usability issue.

I guess if the whitelist is the only thing I'd do 2 things differently:
- Whitelist the clocks, not modes, since that's what seems to matter here.
- Put it as close as possible to the code that comuptes the clock
settings (yet if you use the clock subsystem that's a bit hard, but
for an atomic driver this should be where this is done ...).

Whitelist of modes looks super-hacky.

Sure. The whitelist modes were easiest to use initially dealing with
problem reports since the EDID numbers were what users could report
working or not. But this feedback sounds reasonable, as I can map
those to the underlying pixel clocks and generate a whitelist of
those.

I really appreciate the feedback here!

Another one: If you put this into the encoders ->mode_valid it will be
enforced both when listing modes, and when trying to set a mode. Which
means your users won't be able to see unsupported modes nor try them
out.

But it's not really a hard hw limit, just our current best guess, and
so makes testing new modes unecessarily complicated.

If you instead move this into the connectors ->mode_valid, then it's
only used to validate the connectors mode list, but not at modeset
time. Which means users could still test modes manually added to
xrandr and then tell you what modes to add.

We do that e.g. for sink mode limits, because some sinks have buggy
EDIDs and report wrong limits. Users can then still set modes at their
own risk, and be happy when they work.

So got some time to tinker here, and I've got two issues I'm not sure
how to move on.

1) The kirin driver doesn't seem to have a connector (just
encoder/crtc on the kirin side), the connector seems to be on the
adv7511 bridge, which isn't the component that has the mode
restrictions. So I'm not sure how to push the mode_valid check into
the connector.


2) In trying to move away from the whitelist, the kirin encoder is
where we calculate the phy byte clock which we want to match
(depending on the lanes used, by a fraction of) the mode clock.
However, the kirin crtc logic tweaks the adj_mode at fixup/set time.
This means the mode->clock we check against in the encoder mode_valid
ends up not being the mode we actually try to use at encoder mode_set
time.

Am I just missing something? Do we need to run the modes through the
pipeline's mode_fixups before checking its mode_valids? Or should the
encoder mode_valid be asking the crtc to fix up the modes before
testing?

thanks

It was just an idea to make debugging easier. And avoid an endless stream
of regression reports to keep you busy :-)

mode_valid was kinda meant for simple limit stuff like max/min. If you
first need to round stuff to something the hw can do, then whitelist it,
it gets more tricky. You might just need to hand-roll stuff here, I don't
think this can be reasonably resolved with just helper infrastructure.
Hand-roll = create a dummy adjusted_mode and call the mode_fixup stuff
directly.
