Subject: [PATCH] drm/bridge/synopsys: dsi: use common mipi_dsi_create_packet()

This takes care of 2 TODOs in this driver, by using the common DSI
packet-marshalling code instead of our custom short/long write code.
This both saves us some duplicated code and gets us free support for
command types that weren't already part of our switch block (e.g.,
MIPI_DSI_GENERIC_LONG_WRITE).

The code logic stays mostly intact, except that it becomes unnecessary
to split the short/long write functions, and we have to copy data a bit
more.

Along the way, I noticed that loop bounds were a little odd:

while (DIV_ROUND_UP(len, pld_data_bytes))

This really was just supposed to be 'len != 0', so I made that more
clear.

Tested on RK3399 with some pending refactoring patches by Nickey Yang,
to make the Rockchip DSI driver wrap this common driver.

Could use an extra look from folks. This looks like the correct trivial
transformation, but I'm not that familiar with DSI.

Both DCS and Generic dsi transfers are managed by drm_mipi_dsi.c
helpers. So maybe dw_mipi_dsi_dcs_write() should be renamed
dw_mipi_dsi_write()...

I performed some tests tracing all DSI_GEN_HDR & DSI_GEN_PLD_DATA reg
writes with panel/panel-orisetech-otm8009a.c (using long dcs commands)
before and after your patch and this is "100% perfect"!

So, apart the un-important "dcs" in dw_mipi_dsi_dcs_write() function name:

This clean-up will help a lot to add the dsi read feature in the future.

Very good patch Brian and big "thank you" !

And thanks for adding them; it gave me a better option than just adding
yet another switch case (MIPI_DSI_GENERIC_LONG_WRITE) ;)

Ah, good point. I really meant to remove the _dcs naming too, but I
guess I missed it. Will follow up.

By the way: I don't think it's an issue that should block this patch,
since if I'm right, this function already is "broken", but isn't this
actually a bad way to handle byte-to-word marshalling? Particularly,
we're copying bytes into a word in LE ordering, but then we later write
them to IO registers with writel() (which does endian swapping).

So I think we have an endianness problem on BE systems.

One solution would be to write these to IO registers with a non-swapped
writel() (e.g., __raw_writel()? but that's not very nice...). Another
would be to avoid memcpy, and just read this out a word at a time --
that works fine for the aligned pieces, but not so well for any
non-aligned bits ('if (len < pld_data_bytes)' above) I think?

WDYT?

Thanks for the review and test! I'll likely send a v2 with only the
naming change + your tags, and I'll see about what do about the
endianness issues I noticed as a follow-up.

To be honest, I do not really like the memcpy here too and I agree with
you regarding the BE issue.

My first "stm" driver (ie. before using this "freescale/rockchip"
dw-mipi-dsi driver with the memcpy) used the "exact" same code as the
Tegra dsi tegra_dsi_writesl() function with the 2 loops.

https://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.14/source/drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/dsi.c#L1248

IMHO, it is better than memcpy...
I added these 3 "documentation" lines, maybe we may reuse them or
something similar...

/*
* Write 8-bit payload data into the 32-bit payload data register.
* ex: payload data "0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06" will become
* "0x04030201 0x00000605" 32-bit writes
*/

Not sure it helps to fix the BE issue but we may add a TODO stating that
"this loop has not been tested on BE"...

What is your opinion?

Many thanks
Philippe :-)

As your patch has been merged, I have few short questions and for each
related new patch, I would like to know if you prefer that I implement
it or if you prefer to do it by yourself, it's really like you want, on
my side, no problem to make them all, some or none, I don't want us to
implement these in parallel :-)

* Do you have any opinion regarding Tegra-like loops vs the memcpy? (see
my comment above) If you think the Tegra-like loops is a better approach
than memcpy, there is a small patch to write.

* Returned value with number of bytes received/transferred: there is a
small patch to write

* Regarding read operations: I propose to add a TODO + DRM_WARN in case
someone want to use the API for read operations. Note that I plan to
implement the read feature but I do not know yet when and maybe Rockchip
people already have something ~ready?

Many thanks,

I'm sorry, I don't think I noticed your reply here. I'm trying to unbury
some email, but that's sometimes a losing battle...

That code actually does look correct, and it's perhaps marginally
better-looking in my opinion. It's up to you if you want to propose
another patch :) At this point, it's only a matter of nice code, not
correctness I believe.

My opinion is above.

I don't think I followed that one very well. I'm not sure my opinion
really matters, as long as you get someone else to agree. I do not plan
to write any such patch in the near term.

The warning would be nice to do now, regardless.

Rockchip folks wrote up something for read support here [1], but it's
based on a semi-forked version of the driver (we're trying to clean up
the divergence, but it's not there yet). Perhaps it would provide useful
fodder for your work. I don't think Rockchip is immediately working on
upstreaming this particular patch, so it's totally fair to handle it
yourself. It's got the GPL sign-off ;)

I do not know yet if I will send a patch but several reasons may push me
to do it:
* Andrzej proposed a nicer code in his last review so it means the
actual code with memcpy's is "not so nice" (even if it works fine)
* Several dsi drivers use the Tegra-like loops (Tegra, intel,... ) and
in vc4/exynos/mtk drivers memcpy is not used, msm uses memcpy... well,
not sure it is then a good argument, different solutions for different hw...
* Coming cadence dsi bridge driver uses Tegra-like loops.
* I think my read function will also have Tegra-like loops, if it is the
case, it could be nice to have something homogeneous...

Anyway, it is not an important point : )

Very good information, I will have a look,

I was not against memcpy, I have just suggested to abstract the code out
to some helper function.
Regarding memcpy vs loop I would prefer memcpy - simpler code, but it is
looks less important that abstracting out.

Many thanks for the clarification. Good to know your preference here for
memcpy. So then if someone decides to rework this piece of code, all
these arguments in this email thread will help.

Many thanks
