I've been anticipating the need for more formats, but I didn't want to
add them without having a user. Otherwise I could end up adding stuff
that would never be used. If you can test, there's no problem adding
support for more formats now.

The R1 name is derived from DRM_FORMAT_R8 which is a 8 bit monochrome
(or one color channel) format.

Linux has these one byte color pixel formats currently defined:

/* color index */
#define DRM_FORMAT_C8		fourcc_code('C', '8', ' ', ' ') /* [7:0] C */

/* 8 bpp Red */
#define DRM_FORMAT_R8		fourcc_code('R', '8', ' ', ' ') /* [7:0] R */

/* 8 bpp RGB */
#define DRM_FORMAT_RGB332	fourcc_code('R', 'G', 'B', '8') /* [7:0] R:G:B
3:3:2 */
#define DRM_FORMAT_BGR233	fourcc_code('B', 'G', 'R', '8') /* [7:0] B:G:R
2:3:3 */

And these two color formats:

/* 16 bpp RG */
#define DRM_FORMAT_RG88		fourcc_code('R', 'G', '8', '8') /* [15:0] R:G
8:8 little endian */
#define DRM_FORMAT_GR88		fourcc_code('G', 'R', '8', '8') /* [15:0] G:R
8:8 little endian */

/* 32 bpp RG */
#define DRM_FORMAT_RG1616	fourcc_code('R', 'G', '3', '2') /* [31:0] R:G
16:16 little endian */
#define DRM_FORMAT_GR1616	fourcc_code('G', 'R', '3', '2') /* [31:0] G:R
16:16 little endian */


Building on that I would define a 2 bpp RG format like this in the driver:

static const struct drm_format_info gud_drm_format_rg11 = {
	.format = GUD_DRM_FORMAT_RG11,
	.num_planes = 1,
	.char_per_block = { 1, 0, 0 },
	.block_w = { 4, 0, 0 }, /* 4 pixels per block/byte */
	.block_h = { 1, 0, 0 },
	.hsub = 1,
	.vsub = 1,
};

And a 3 bpp RGB format like this:

static const struct drm_format_info gud_drm_format_rgb111 = {
	.format = GUD_DRM_FORMAT_RGB111,
	.num_planes = 1,
	.char_per_block = { 1, 0, 0 },
	.block_w = { 2, 0, 0 }, /* 2 pixels per block/byte */
	.block_h = { 1, 0, 0 },
	.hsub = 1,
	.vsub = 1,
};

The MIPI DBI standard defines 2 ways to transmit 2x 3-bpp pixels in one
byte (X=pad bit):
- Option 1: X  X  R1 G1 B1 R2 G2 B2
- Option 2: X  R1 G1 B1 X  R2 G2 B2

So maybe we should have GUD_DRM_FORMAT_RGB111_OPTION1 and
GUD_DRM_FORMAT_RGB111_OPTION2?
Or just use option 2 and let the display fix it up if needed?

What format does your 3 bpp display use?

And then something like this for the conversion function:

static size_t gud_xrgb8888_to_color(u8 *dst, const struct
drm_format_info *format,
				    u32 *src, struct drm_framebuffer *fb,
				    struct drm_rect *rect)
{
	unsigned int block_width = drm_format_info_block_width(format, 0);
	unsigned int x, y, width, height;
	u8 r, g, b, *block = dst; /* Assign to silence compiler warning */
	size_t len;

	WARN_ON_ONCE(format->char_per_block[0] != 1);

	/* Start on a byte boundary */
	rect->x1 = ALIGN_DOWN(rect->x1, block_width);
	width = drm_rect_width(rect);
	height = drm_rect_height(rect);
	len = drm_format_info_min_pitch(format, 0, width) * height;

	for (y = 0; y < height; y++) {
		for (x = 0; x < width; x++) {
			if (!(x % block_width)) {
				block = dst++;
				*block = 0;
			}

			/* r,g,b are bytes so no need to mask out anything explicitly */
			r = *src >> 16;
			g = *src >> 8;
			b = *src++;

			switch (format->format) {
			case GUD_DRM_FORMAT_RG11:
				*block <<= 2;
				*block |= ((r >> 7) << 1) | (g >> 7);
				break;
			case GUD_DRM_FORMAT_RGB111_OPTION1:
				*block <<= 3;
				*block |= ((r >> 7) << 2) | ((g >> 7) << 1) | (b >> 7);
				break;
			case GUD_DRM_FORMAT_RGB111_OPTION2:
				*block <<= 4;
				*block |= ((r >> 7) << 2) | ((g >> 7) << 1) | (b >> 7);
				break;
			default:
				WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
				return len;
			};
		}
	}

	return len;
}
