That's true, drm_bridge_funcs semantics is rather vague and probably doesn't fit all needs, but that's not the only problem we have when it comes to DSI IMHO. I mean, I couldn't find any doc in drm_mipi_dsi.h explaining when panel/bridge drivers are allowed to send DCS commands. I was personally assuming that we were allowed to send such commands as soon as mipi_dsi_attach() was called, but that's not clearly not possible with VC4 and Exynos. This part should be clarified too. > > I fully agree with you, not defining the semantics of the bridge > operations precisely was I believe a mistake, and we're paying the price > now. That's OK, we "just" need to fix it :-) Okay, so how do we fix that? :-) I'm not a big fan of specializing the drm_bridge_funcs interface to fit protocol X or protocol Y needs. Sounds like a never ending story, protocol Z might require something slightly different, and we're likely to end up with an interface that's not generic at all. Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like all DSI ordering issues could be addressed at the mipi_dsi_host_ops level if we define a new ->enter_power_state() hook and have the DSI framework keep track of the host power state (LP,HS,PD,...). The framework would then make sure we are in a valid state (LP or HS) before calling dsi_host->transfer(). If we have that in place, I don't think we need new hooks at the bridge level, at least not for the DSI case. Please let me know if I'm missing something. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
