Are there panel or bridge drivers that support this? My initial thought was that it should be a new bus format.Looks like we have drm bridges supporting dual link, and they use the "normal" bus format. Did you have a look at them? They require two port nodes for dual link, and use the existence of the second one to decide if dual link is used or not.The above edits were not for adding a new bus format for dual link connections. I added them in order to be able to write the correct OLDI config values in the register.There are also lvds helpers in drm_of.c. I didn't look closely, but it looked to me that the helpers can tell you if the ports are connected to a dual link bridge. If not, you could fall back to cloning. This way no extra properties are needed. But you will need to add a port node, which I think you need to add anyway for cloning.I have now seen drm_of.c and examples (renesas' rcar lvds) that use the apis that drm_of.c is offering. In those cases, the OLDI TXes are being modeled as separate devices, which is not the case with the tidss' OLDI TXes. Since the only few OLDI registers are in the DSS address space, they were just being configured through the tidss driver.
I think it's irrelevant (in the bigger picture) whether the TXes are separate devices, single device or part of some other device. Or why do you think it matters?
Even in DT, the dss port (for OLDI) connects to the panel port's endpoint directly. Even in cases of dual link or cloning, it's only a singular remote-to-endpoint connection between the (OLDI) VP and the panel port. Hence the requirement of the properties in the earlier patches of the series.
Sorry, I don't follow. If you use cloning, you have two TX outputs, going to two panels, right? So you need two panel DT nodes, and those would connect to two OLDI TX ports in the DSS.
Afaics the existing dual link bridge/panel drivers also use two ports for the connection, so to use the dual link you need two ports in the DSS.
I admit I'm not familiar with LVDS dual link, but it's not clear to me how you see the dual OLDI TX being used with other drivers if you have only one port. What kind of setups have you tested?
The use of lvds helper functions does not seem feasible in this case, because even they read DT properties to determine the dual link connection and those properties need to be a part of a lvds bridge device.
Can you elaborate a bit more why the DRM helpers couldn't be used here?
I have also been considering the idea of implementing a new device driver for the OLDI TXes, not unlike the renesas' one. That way the driver could have the properties and the lvds helper functions at their disposal. I am just slightly unsure if that would allow space for any conflicts because of the shared register space.
No, I don't think new devices are needed here. Tomi
