I don't have a strong opinion on "auto-disabling CRTC" vs "fake VBLANK events". Note that I'm already faking a VBLANK event when activating writeback, because there's no such concept at the HVS/TXP level. We do have EOF (End Of Frame) and writeback done events, but these are quite independent from the VBLANK events generated by the pixelvalve block (the block responsible for generating the HSYNC/VSYNC signals). > > I'm also not sure how (if?) this works today with a CRTC driving a DSI > command-mode panel.

I mean, the core is using VBLANK events to detect when page flips have been done, that is, when old framebuffers are unused and new ones started to be fetched by the CRTC, but on some HW, VBLANK is not the only way to detect such situations. The question is, are there other situations where VBLANK events are required, or is there an implicit rule stating that a CRTC has to generate VBLANK events at a vrefresh rate even when the display is actually not updated when nothing changes? > > >+ return; > >+ } > >+ > >+ fb = conn_state->writeback_job->fb; > >+ > >+ switch (fb->format->format) { > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_ARGB8888: > >+ ctrl |= TXP_ALPHA_ENABLE; > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888: > >+ ctrl |= VC4_SET_FIELD(TXP_FORMAT_ARGB8888, TXP_FORMAT) | > >+ VC4_SET_FIELD(0xf, TXP_BYTE_ENABLE); > >+ break; > >+ > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_ABGR8888: > >+ ctrl |= TXP_ALPHA_ENABLE; > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_XBGR8888: > >+ ctrl |= VC4_SET_FIELD(TXP_FORMAT_ABGR8888, TXP_FORMAT) | > >+ VC4_SET_FIELD(0xf, TXP_BYTE_ENABLE); > >+ break; > >+ > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_RGBA8888: > >+ ctrl |= TXP_ALPHA_ENABLE; > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_RGBX8888: > >+ ctrl |= VC4_SET_FIELD(TXP_FORMAT_RGBA8888, TXP_FORMAT) | > >+ VC4_SET_FIELD(0xf, TXP_BYTE_ENABLE); > >+ break; > >+ > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_BGRA8888: > >+ ctrl |= TXP_ALPHA_ENABLE; > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888: > >+ ctrl |= VC4_SET_FIELD(TXP_FORMAT_BGRA8888, TXP_FORMAT) | > >+ VC4_SET_FIELD(0xf, TXP_BYTE_ENABLE); > >+ break; > >+ > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_BGR888: > >+ ctrl |= VC4_SET_FIELD(TXP_FORMAT_BGR888, TXP_FORMAT) | > >+ VC4_SET_FIELD(0xf, TXP_BYTE_ENABLE); > >+ break; > >+ > >+ case DRM_FORMAT_RGB888: > >+ ctrl |= VC4_SET_FIELD(TXP_FORMAT_RGB888, TXP_FORMAT) | > >+ VC4_SET_FIELD(0xf, TXP_BYTE_ENABLE); > >+ break; > >+ default: > >+ WARN_ON(1); > >+ return; > >+ } > >+ > >+ if (!(ctrl & TXP_ALPHA_ENABLE)) > >+ ctrl |= TXP_ALPHA_INVERT; > >+ > >+ mode = &conn_state->crtc->state->adjusted_mode; > >+ gem = drm_fb_cma_get_gem_obj(fb, 0); > >+ TXP_WRITE(TXP_DST_PTR, gem->paddr + fb->offsets[0]); > >+ TXP_WRITE(TXP_DST_PITCH, fb->pitches[0]); > >+ TXP_WRITE(TXP_DIM, > >+ VC4_SET_FIELD(mode->hdisplay, TXP_WIDTH) | > >+ VC4_SET_FIELD(mode->vdisplay, TXP_HEIGHT)); > >+ > >+ TXP_WRITE(TXP_DST_CTRL, ctrl); > >+ > >+ drm_writeback_queue_job(&txp->connector, conn_state->writeback_job); > >+ conn_state->writeback_job = NULL; > >+} > >+ > >+bool vc4_is_txp_encoder(struct drm_device *dev, struct drm_encoder *encoder) > >+{ > >+ struct vc4_dev *vc4 = to_vc4_dev(dev); > >+ > >+ return encoder == &vc4->txp->connector.encoder; > >+} > >+ > >+static const struct drm_connector_helper_funcs vc4_txp_connector_helper_funcs = { > >+ .get_modes = vc4_txp_connector_get_modes, > >+ .mode_valid = vc4_txp_connector_mode_valid, > >+ .atomic_check = vc4_txp_connector_atomic_check, > > huh.

It seems that connector->atomic_check() is called even when the CRTC -> encoder -> connector routing did not change if at least one of the property attached to the connector was changed, which is a good fit for writeback connectors ;-). Also, by using connector->atomic_check() I get rid of the dummy encoder_helper_funcs object.
