Hi,
Here's a follow-up on the previous discussion about the current state of
DSI/DBI panel drivers, TinyDRM, and the need of a cleanup.
This patchset introduces the following:
* It slightly tweaks the MIPI DSI code so that it supports MIPI DBI over
various buses. This patch has been tested with a non-upstream DRM
panel driver for a ILI9331 DBI/8080 panel, written with the DSI
framework (and doesn't include <drm/drm_mipi_dbi.h>), and non-upstream
DSI/DBI host driver for the Ingenic SoCs.
* A SPI DBI host driver, using the current MIPI DSI framework. It allows
MIPI DSI/DBI drivers to be written with the DSI framework, even if
they are connected over SPI, instead of registering as SPI device
drivers. Since most of these panels can be connected over various
buses, it permits to reuse the same driver independently of the bus
used.
* A TinyDRM driver for DSI/DBI panels, once again independent of the bus
used; the only dependency (currently) being that the panel must
understand DCS commands.
* A DRM panel driver to test the stack. This driver controls Ilitek
ILI9341 based DBI panels, like the Adafruit YX240QV29-T 320x240 2.4"
TFT LCD panel. This panel was converted from
drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/ili9341.c.
I would like to emphasize that while it has been compile-tested, I did
not test it with real hardware since I do not have any DBI panel
connected over SPI. I did runtime-test the code, just without any panel
connected.
Another thing to note, is that it does not break Device Tree ABI. The
display node stays the same:
display@0 {
compatible = "adafruit,yx240qv29", "ilitek,ili9341";
reg = <0>;
spi-max-frequency = <32000000>;
dc-gpios = <&gpio0 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
reset-gpios = <&gpio0 8 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
rotation = <270>;
backlight = <&backlight>;
};
The reason it works, is that the "adafruit,yx240qv29" device is probed
on the SPI bus, so it will match with the SPI/DBI host driver. This will
in turn register the very same node with the DSI bus, and the ILI9341
DRM panel driver will probe. The driver will detect that no controller
is linked to the panel, and eventually register the DBI/DSI TinyDRM
driver.
I can't stress it enough that this is a RFC, so it still has very rough
edges.
Cheers,
-Paul
