Subject: [PATCH v8 0/4] drm/atmel-hlcdc: bus-width override support

Hi!

The background for these patches is that our PCB interface between
the SAMA5D3 and the ds90c185 lvds encoder is only using 16 bits, and
this has to be described somewhere, or the atmel-hlcdc driver have no
chance of selecting the correct output mode. Since we have similar
problems with a tda19988 HDMI encoder I added patches to override
the atmel-hlcdc output format via DT properties compatible with the
media video-interface binding and things start to play together.

Cheers,
Peter

Changes since v7 https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/4/288
- The ep device_node was leaked in v7 patch 3/3, so add patch 3/4
which simplifies fixing this in patch 4/4 (and adds flexibility)
and adjust patch 4/4 to the changes done in the new 3/4.
- return -ENOMEM on allocation failure in patch 4/4

Changes since v6 https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/3/333
- zap bus-type from the binding in patch 2/3

Changes since (the shortened) v5 https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/3/182
- add reg properties (and #*-cells) to the example in patch 2/3
- prohibit bus-width 0 in the device-tree in patch 3/3
- added reviewed-by from Jacopo to patch 2/3 and 3/3

Subject: [PATCH v8 2/4] dt-bindings: display: atmel: optional video-interface of endpoints

With bus-type/bus-width properties in the endpoint nodes, the video-
interface of the connection can be specified for cases where the
heuristic fails to select the correct output mode. This can happen
e.g. if not all RGB pins are routed on the PCB; the driver has no
way of knowing this, and needs to be told explicitly.

This is critical for the devices that have the "conflicting output
formats" issue (SAM9N12, SAM9X5, SAMA5D3), since the most significant
RGB bits move around depending on the selected output mode. For
devices that do not have the "conflicting output formats" issue
(SAMA5D2, SAMA5D4), this is completely irrelevant.

Subject: [PATCH v8 3/4] drm/atmel-hlcdc: iterate over all output endpoints

This enables more flexible devicetrees. You can e.g. have two output
nodes where one is not enabled, without the ordering affecting things.

Prior to this patch the active node had to have endpoint id zero.

Subject: [PATCH v8 4/4] drm/atmel-hlcdc: support bus-width (12/16/18/24) in endpoint nodes

This beats the heuristic that the connector is involved in what format
should be output for cases where this fails.

E.g. if there is a bridge that changes format between the encoder and the
connector, or if some of the RGB pins between the lcd controller and the
encoder are not routed on the PCB.

This is critical for the devices that have the "conflicting output
formats" issue (SAM9N12, SAM9X5, SAMA5D3), since the most significant
RGB bits move around depending on the selected output mode. For
devices that do not have the "conflicting output formats" issue
(SAMA5D2, SAMA5D4), this is completely irrelevant.

You are refusing endpoint->port != 0 in the caller, so that could be
0.

Yes, it could. However, I intentionally did not write 0 here, so that
the logic related to "port has to be zero" was in one place and not
scattered about. I guess it's up to Boris?

Maybe the port do not actually have to be zero at all? With the old
code, it was kind of understandable that the port number was fixed,
but for the code in my patch it does not matter at all AFAICT. There
is nothing in the binding docs (except for the example) that hints
that port has to be zero, so that's one thing in favor of just getting
rid of the port number checking altogether...

Cheers,
Peter

Your DTs are not supposed to be flexible. They should be well defined
by the binding.

The port numbering must be defined and fixed. If that is not clear in
the binding, fix the binding.

I'd really like to kill off of_graph_parse_endpoint, not add more
users (check the git history on this code). You should know what are
possible port and endpoint numbers, so iterate over those.

I feel the need to explain the situation with more words...

We have a board with this atmel-hlcdc wired to both an LVDS encoder
and an HDMI encoder. Depending on how we integrate this board, only
one of these paths make sense. Hence, I would like to do the following
in a .dtsi for that board:

/ {
hlcdc-display-controller {
...
port@0 {
hlcdc_lvds: endpoint@0 {
reg = <0>;
remote-endpoint = <&lvds_encoder_input>;
};

hlcdc_hdmi: endpoint@1 {
reg = <1>;
remote-endpoint = <&hdmi_encoder_input>;
};
};
};

lvds_encoder: lvds-encoder {
status = "disabled";

...

ports {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;

port@0 {
reg = <0>;

lvds_encoder_input: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&hlcdc_lvds>;
};
};

port@1 {
reg = <1>;

lvds_encoder_output: endpoint {
};
};
};
};
};

&i2c2 {
...
hdmi_encoder: hdmi-encoder@70 {
status = "disabled";

...

port {
hdmi_encoder_input: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&hlcdc_hdmi>;
};
};
};
};


And then, depending on what components are fitted and what LVDS panel has
been attached to the LVDS encoder output, this can be used as follows
in the .dts file for LVDS case:

/ {
panel: panel {
compatible = "litemax,dlf2118", "panel-lvds";

...

port {
panel_input: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&lvds_encoder_output>;
};
};
};
};


&lvds_encoder {
status = "okay";
};

&lvds_encoder_output {
remote-endpoint = <&panel_input>;
};


For the HDMI case, it would be this in the .dts file:

&hdmi_encoder {
status = "okay";
};


The above seem so much better than just having the following in
the .dtsi file

/ {
hlcdc-display-controller {
...
port@0 {
hlcdc_lvds: endpoint {
remote-endpoint = <&encoder_input>;
};
};
};
};

and pushing the lvds-encoder and hdmi-encoder nodes (slightly modified) down
to the relevant .dts files. Especially so since we have to this point
delivered several variants with different LVDS panels. The duplication
is ugly, and the number of different panels is expected to grow...

But maybe I have misunderstood what endpoints are all about, but to me
the actual endpoint id is not that interesting and I see nothing in the
graph binding that suggests that endpoint id 0 has to be up and kicking
in order for endpoint id 1 to be examined at all.

For ports, yes, you are right that the port id needs to be defined and
fixed for a specific function, so scratch that. It was just a "maybe"
question anyway...

Ok, so the code in my patch does the right thing forcing the port
number to zero.

So, add a comment to that effect in the docs of the of_graph_parse_endpoint
function.

How can the hlcdc driver know the actual number of endpoints? It's a
one-way signal path out from that port, and it can easily be routed to
1, 2, 3 or even more places. As shown above, forcing the endpoint id
to start at zero is a nuisance, and I don't see the point of it.

But I welcome suggestions on how to arrange the above dtsi/dts fragments
in a world where the endpoint id absolutely has to start at zero.

Cheers,
Peter

I guess it depends if the numbering is significant. For a one to many
fan out like this, not so much. For a muxed input, then it would be.

Your dts file arrangement seems fine. Can't you just not exit the loop
on -ENODEV? IOW, just iterate til you find an enabled endpoint.

Right, the endpoint numbering certainly *can* be important for some cases,
I can see that, and am not arguing against that part...

That would regress cases where two (or more) endpoints are enabled
(which is currently supported). As I see it, the driver will have a
very hard time knowing when to stop iterating with any solution not
involving the equivalent of the functions for_each_endpoint_of_node
and of_graph_parse_endpoint. Open-coding of_graph_parse_endpoint just
to avoid it is a bit more than silly IMHO...

I agree, and actually, I think this is Rob who suggested to do what we
do here :-) (iterate from 0 to X, and stop as soon as
-ENODEV is returned).

I stopped following the discussion at some point. Are there any open
issues or Ack you're waiting for?

The only worry is the silence from Rob on that multiple-endpoint
discussion. Since I don't really care deeply, my plan was fix up
the of_node leak in v7 without using of_graph_parse_endpoint. I.e.
drop 3/4.

But I would have prefer Rob to add some final opinion instead of the
discussion petering out like it did.

Cheers,
Peter

By suggested, you mean implemented because that is what it currently
does. My suggestion now is to do this:

for (endpoint = 0; endpoint < SOME_REASONABLE_MAX_NUMBER_OF_ENDPOINTS;
endpoint++) {
ret = atmel_hlcdc_attach_endpoint(dev, endpoint);
if (ret == -ENODEV)
continue;
// handle other errors?
}

And SOME_REASONABLE_MAX_NUMBER_OF_ENDPOINTS is something you make up
based on how many connections any board will have and physics (I
suppose you could have trees worth of buffers, but really what is the
worst case in an actual board design?). I would think 4 would be
plenty. If not, double it to 8.
