Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] drm: sun4i: dsi: Convert drm bridge

This series convert Allwinner DSI controller to full functional
drm bridge driver for supporting slave panel, bridges.

Here, are the previous version changes[1].

The key concern about these changes is about kms hotplug which
indeed not compatible with bridge conversion. However, I did
try several ways to support hotplug with the bridge but it's
resulting in a deadlock where bind never attach bridge until
bridge pointer found and bridge pointer cannot found until bind
finishes. Any inputs on this would be appreciated.

[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/783127/

Any inputs?
Jagan.

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] drm: sun4i: dsi: Use drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge

Replace of_drm_find_panel with drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge
for finding panel, this indeed help to find the bridge if
bridge support added.

Added NULL in bridge argument, same will replace with bridge
parameter once bridge supported.

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/7] drm: sun4i: dsi: Add bridge support

Some display panels would come up with a non-DSI output which
can have an option to connect DSI interface by means of bridge
converter.

This DSI to non-DSI bridge converter would require a bridge
driver that would communicate the DSI controller for bridge
functionalities.

So, add support for bridge functionalities in Allwinner DSI
controller.

Note:
Samuel Holland, The existing kms hotplug dropped in order to
attach the bridge properly.

However, I did try several ways to support hotplug with the
bridge but it's resulting in a deadlock where bind never attach
bridge until bridge pointer found and bridge pointer cannot
found until bind finishes. Any inputs on this would be appreciated.

Changes for v3:
- updated with new API's

Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] drm: sun4i: dsi: Separate code for bridge pre_enable

The existing driver has an enablement code for initializing
clock, reset, PHY, DSI timings, and finally switching to HS
mode.

Move the clock, reset. PHY and DSI timings code into bridge
pre_enable and keep HS mode switch in enable.

As the driver supports fully enabled bridge functionalities,
this new enablement code separation will help to initialize
the host and slave bridge pre_enable, enable functions properly.

Subject: [PATCH v3 5/7] drm: bridge: Queue the bridge chain instead of stacking

drm_bridge_attach has stacked the bridge chain, so the bridge
that gets pushed last can trigger its bridge function pre_enable
first from drm_atomic_bridge_chain_pre_enable.

This indeed gives a chance to trigger slave bridge pre_enable
first without triggering its host bridge pre_enable for the
usual host to slave device model like DSI host with panel slave.

For fully enabled bridge drivers, host bridge pre_enable has all
host related clock, reset, PHY configuration code that needs to
initialized before sending commands or configuration from a slave
to communicate its host.

Queue the bridge chain instead of stacking it so-that the bridges
that got enqueued first can have a chance to trigger first.

Subject: [PATCH v3 6/7] drm: sun4i: dsi: Use drm_panel_bridge, connector API

Use drm_panel_bridge to replace manual panel handling code.

This simplifies the driver to allows all components in the
display pipeline to be treated as bridges, paving the way
to generic connector handling.

Use drm_bridge_connector_init to create a connector for display
pipelines that use drm_bridge.

This allows splitting connector operations across multiple bridges
when necessary, instead of having the last bridge in the chain
creating the connector and handling all connector operations
internally.

Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] drm: sun4i: dsi: Convert to bridge driver

DRM bridge drivers have build-in handling of treating all display
pipeline components as bridges.

So, convert the existing to a drm bridge driver with a built-in
encoder support for compatibility with existing component drivers.

First of all, won't thus break all the drivers that currently rely on
the existing behaviour ?

Then, this will create a really weird order, as the list will contain
bridges in the reverse order. Assuming three bridges, A, B and C, which
are connected at the hardware level as follows:

Encoder -> A -> B -> C

the list would contain

Encoder -> C -> B -> A

This isn't intuitive, and if you want to reverse the order in which
bridge operations are called, it would be better to do so in the
operations themselves, for instance replacing
list_for_each_entry_reverse() with list_for_each_entry() in
drm_atomic_bridge_chain_pre_enable(). Still, this will likely break
drivers that depend on the existing order, so I don't think that's an
acceptable solution as-is.

Most of the code removed in that patch was actually introduced earlier
which feels a bit weird. Is there a reason we can't do that one first,
and then introduce the bridge support?

This patch adds new bridge API's which requires the driver has to
support the bridge first.

I'm not sure what you're saying, you can definitely have a bridge
without support for a downstream bridge.

Anyway, my point is that:

Surely we can do better?

I understand your point. what I'm saying here is, This patch
introduces two new bridge API's

devm_drm_panel_bridge_add
drm_bridge_connector_init

In order to add these API's the driver has to support the bridge
first. All the patches before this one support bridge and this patch
introduce new APIs, ie the reason we have code removed in this patch
which has been added before.

Okay. I think I will send the next version series till bridge
conversion. Improvement patches like this can take care of later
versions and even it depends on Patch v3 5/7 which indeed require a
separate discussion. This way it makes less confusion.

Hope it's fine for you?

Jagan.
