Currently, mtk_dsi_lane_ready (which setup the DSI lane) is triggered
before mtk_dsi_poweron. lanes_ready flag toggle to true during
mtk_dsi_lane_ready function, and the DSI module is set up during
mtk_dsi_poweron.
Later, during panel driver init, mtk_dsi_lane_ready is triggered but does
nothing because lanes are considered ready. Unfortunately, when the panel
driver try to communicate, the DSI returns a timeout.
The solution found here is to put lanes_ready flag to false after the DSI
module setup into mtk_dsi_poweron to init the DSI lanes after the power /
setup of the DSI module.
I'm not clear about what happen.
I think this DSI flow has worked for a long time.
So only some panel has problem?
I don't know if it's related to a specific panel or not.
And another question.
Do you mean mtk_dsi_lane_ready() do some setting to hardware, but lane is not
actually ready?
The workflow should be:
... | dsi->lanes_ready = false | Power-on | setup dsi lanes | dsi->lanes_ready =
true (to avoid re-do dsi lanes setup) | ...
I observe (print function name called + dsi->lanes_ready value):
Alex, the first poweron is called by mtk_dsi_ddp_start() - and the start callback
is internal to the mediatek-drm driver.
That callback is called by mtk_crtc during setup and during bridge enable(), and
there we go with suboptimal code design backfiring - instead of using what the
DRM APIs provide, this driver uses something custom *and* the DRM APIs, giving
this issue.
Part of what mtk_crtc does is duplicated with what the DRM APIs want to do, so
there you go, that's your problem here :-)
Should I go on with describing the next step(s), or is that obvious for everyone?
:-)
Cheers,
Ok thanks Angelo.
Can you let me know if you agree with this change please ? This should be better:
No, no, I'm saying that we should do the exact opposite of what you're doing here!
We should drop the MediaTek custom stuff that duplicates the DRM APIs behavior(s),
and conform to what the DRM APIs provide and want us to do.
To be really really clear - I'm saying to delete and avoid using:
- mtk_dsi_ddp_start()
- mtk_dsi_ddp_stop()
The spirit here should be to use kernel provided APIs, and to make custom stuff
to disappear as much as possible (again, that mtk_crtc .start/.stop).
I'm not saying that literally all of the start/stop callbacks for all of the
MTK DRM drivers should disappear *all at once* but... gradually, one by one,
these should get lost (where/if possible).
Just one more mention: that custom handling also backfired on me while writing
the hdmiv2/dpi drivers... and now backfires on dsi, and in the future it will
backfire again on something else. It's there only to give problems in the end,
not to solve them :-)
Cheers,
Angelo
