[PATCH v3 00/21] drm: Add support for bus-format negotiation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch series aims at adding support for runtime bus-format
negotiation between all elements of the
'encoder -> bridges -> connector/display' section of the pipeline.

In order to support that, we need drm bridges to fully take part in the
atomic state validation process, which requires adding a
drm_bridge_state and a new drm_bridge_funcs.atomic_check() hook.
Once those basic building blocks are in place, we can add new hooks to
allow bus format negotiation (those are called just before
->atomic_check()). The bus format selection is done at runtime by
testing all possible combinations across the whole bridge chain until
one is reported to work.

Major changes since v2:
* Get rid of the dummy bridge embedded in drm_encoder and let encoder
  drivers provide their own bridge element
* Clarify APIs and improve the doc
* Propagate bus flags by default

Major changes since the RFC:

* Add a dummy bridge to the drm_encoder object so that vc4 and exynos
  DSI drivers can implement the pre_enable/post_disable hooks instead
  of manually setting encoder->bridge to NULL to control the
  enable/disable sequence. This change is also a first step towards
  drm_bridge/drm_encoder unification. New encoder drivers should
  stop implementing drm_encoder_helper_funcs and switch to
  drm_bridge_funcs. Existing drivers can be converted progressively
  (already have a branch where I started converting some of them [1])
* rework the bus format negotiation to give more control to bridge
  drivers in the selection process (driver can select at runtime which
  input bus format they support for a specific output bus format based
  on any information available in the connector, crtc and bridge state.

A more detailed changelog is provided in each patch.

This patch series is also available here [2].

Thanks,

Boris
