Hello DRM list, cc media-list for the mbus format extension cc renesas-soc and devicetree for Eagle DTS patch This series adds support for static image formats to DRM bridges, mimicking what display_info.bus_formats represents for DRM connectors. The main use case of this series is the R-Car DU LVDS encoder. This component can output LVDS streams compatible with JEIDA or SPWG specification, and so far it has only been possible to decide which one to output if the next component in the DRM pipeline was a panel, equipped with a DRM connector where to inspect the accepted input image format from. With the introduction of the transparent THC63LVD1024 LVDS decoder driver, the next component in the pipeline is now a bridge, and the DU LVDS encoder needs to inspect which media bus image formats it accepts and set its LVDS output mode accordingly. The series implements -static- image format supports for bridges. As a result of the discussion on Peter Rosin's patch series: [PATCH v2 0/5] allow override of bus format in bridges https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/26/610 my understanding is that the accepted image formats can be 'dynamic' (or 'atomic') if depends on the configured DRM mode, or 'static' as in the THC63LVD1024 case, where an external pin configuration decides which LVDS mapping mode the encoder accepts (which implies it comes from DT, as in Peter's use case). For dynamic formats Daniel already suggested a possible implementation: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/28/57 while for static image formats I am proposing an implementation that copies what we have for connectors at the moment. One more detail: the DU LVDS encoder supports 'mirroring' of LVDS modes, and that was handled through a set of flags (DRM_BUS_FLAG_DATA_*) defined for connectors only, and added for that specific purpose, if I got this right. Instead of replicating the same flags for bridges, or moving them to some shared header which I had trouble to identify, I have introduced the _LE version of mbus formats used to describe LVDS streams. While 'little endian' is not *technically* exact for those mirrored formats, it is my opinion they represent a good description anyhow of the reversed component ordering. As a result, the connector specific DRM_BUS_FLAG_DATA_* have been removed as all their user have been ported to use the new _LE formats. The series depends on THC63LVD1024 support, implemented by the following in-review series: [PATCH v9 0/2] drm: Add Thine THC63LVD1024 LVDS decoder bridge [PATCH v3 0/5] V3M-Eagle HDMI output enablement available for the interested at: git://jmondi.org/linux lvds-bridge/linus-master/v9-eagle-v3 Thanks for comments j Jacopo Mondi (8): drm: bridge: Add support for static image formats dt-bindings: display: bridge: thc63lvd1024: Add lvds map property drm: bridge: thc63lvd1024: Add support for LVDS mode map arm64: dts: renesas: eagle: Add thc63 LVDS map media: Add LE version of RGB LVDS formats drm: rcar-du: rcar-lvds: Add bridge format support drm: panel: Use _LE LVDS formats for data mirroring drm: connector: Remove DRM_BUS_FLAG_DATA_* flags .../bindings/display/bridge/thine,thc63lvd1024.txt | 3 + Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/subdev-formats.rst | 174 +++++++++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas/r8a77970-eagle.dts | 1 + drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/thc63lvd1024.c | 41 +++++ drivers/gpu/drm/drm_bridge.c | 30 ++++ drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-lvds.c | 21 +-- drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_lvds.c | 64 +++++--- include/drm/drm_bridge.h | 8 + include/drm/drm_connector.h | 4 - include/uapi/linux/media-bus-format.h | 5 +- 10 files changed, 317 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
