See power on sequence in https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/SPARE-PARTS/TERES-015-LCD11-6/resources/N116BGE-EA2.pdf Driver can talk to the panel over AUX channel only after t1+t3, t1 is up to 10ms, t3 is up to 200ms. It works with older version of driver that keeps panel always on because it takes a while between driver probe and pipeline start. It'll likely break with newer version of driver that turns on panel only when bridge is active. You'll see AUX timeouts - it won't be able to probe EDID in some cases. Problem can be intermittent and device dependent. All in all - you don't need panel timings since there's EDID but you still need panel delays. Anyway, it's up to you and maintainers. > PD23 powers down panel and backlight as much as possible, see > 24bd5d2cb93bc arm64: dts: allwinner: a64: teres-i: enable backlight > (currently only in Maxime's repo) and the Teres-I schematics... > > And the driver in your repo neatly guards all accesses with > "if (anx6345->panel)" -- good! > But I found the Vdds are required, so I added them as such. > > > I guess you're testing it with older version of anx6345.
