Subject: [PATCH] ARM: davinci: dm644x: fix out range signal for ED

From: Lad, Prabhakar <[email protected]>

while testing display on dm644x, for ED out-range signals
was observed. This patch fixes appropriate clock setting
for ED.

Can you please clarify what you mean by "out range signal"? Are there
any user visible artifacts on the display? What was the clock being
provided earlier and what is the value after this patch?

Also, is the issue severe enough that this patch should be applied to
stable tree as well?

Thanks,
Sekhar

Ideally a clock of 54Mhz is required for enhanced definition to
work, which it was actually set to but while testing I noticed
out-of-range signal. The out-of-range signal is often caused
when the field rate is above the rate that the television will handle.
When this is the case the TV or monitor displays "Out-Of-Range Signal".

Reducing the clock fixed it. now the clock is set to 27Mhz.

So, is the requirement for ED 54MHz or lower? Still trying to explain
myself how 27MHz is working where a 54MHz is required. I guess there is
also a lower limit on what the frequency should be?

Sorry I am not familiar will all the video concepts, hence the questions.

Thanks,
Sekhar

Ideally its 54Mhz, but I see in the datasheet for AD7342/3 [1] it can also
work at 27Mhz too.

So, based on this discussion I think a better description would be:

"
Fix the video clock setting when custom timings are used with pclock <=
27MHz. Existing clock selection uses PLL2 mode which results in a 54MHz
clock where as using the MXI mode results in a 27MHz clock (which is the
one actually desired).

This affects the Enhanced Definition (ED) support on DM644x. Without
this patch, out-range signals errors are were observed on the TV. An
out-of-range signal is often caused when the field rate is above the
rate that the television will handle.
"

Is this accurate? In future, please try to be descriptive in patch
description as it will help understand what the patch is doing and why
(which in turn will lead to the patch getting accepted faster).

Also I assume you need this patch in v3.7? Or can I send it for v3.8?

Thanks,
Sekhar

Looks good. I'll make sure to have descriptive commit message hence forth.

Since its a fix it would be good if its queued for v3.7.
