Hi Adrian,

Hi Laurent,


Thank you for the patch. On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 11:19:46AM +0300, Adrian Ratiu wrote:
Up until now the assumption was that the synopsis dsi bridge will directly connect to an encoder provided by the platform driver, but the current practice for drivers is to leave the encoder empty via the simple encoder API and add their logic to their own drm_bridge. Thus we need an ablility to connect the DSI bridge to another bridge provided by the platform driver, so we extend the dw_mipi_dsi bind() API with a new "previous bridge" arg instead of just hardcoding NULL.

Please note that chaining of bridges doesn't work well if multiple bridges in the chain try to create a connector. This is why a DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag has been added, with a helper to create a connector for a chain of bridges (drm_bridge_connector_init()). This won't play well with the component framework. I would recommend using the of_drm_find_bridge() instead in the rockchip driver, and deprecating dw_mipi_dsi_bind().

Thank you for this insight, indeed the bridge dw_mipi_dsi_bind() is clunky and we're making it even more so by possibly re-inventing drm_bridge_connector_init() with it in a way which can't work (well it does work but can lead to those nasty multiple-encoder corner-cases you mention).

I'll address this before posting v9, to try to move to of_drm_find_bridge() and remove dw_mipi_dsi_bind().
