This feels backwards to me. I've only skimmed this series, and the DT changes didn't come through for me, so perhaps I have an incomplete view. DSC is not MSM specific. There is a standard for it. Yet it looks like everything is implemented in a MSM specific way, and then pushed to the panel. So, every vendor needs to implement their vendor specific way to get the DSC info, and then push it to the panel? Seems wrong, given there is an actual standard for this feature. Additionally, we define panel properties (resolution, BPP, etc) at the panel, and have the display drivers pull it from the panel. However, for DSC, you do the reverse (define it in the display driver, and push it to the panel). If the argument is that DSC properties can be dynamic, well, so can resolution. Every panel for MSM MTPs supports multiple resolutions, yet we define that with the panel in Linux. Finally, I haven't seen the DT bits, but I'm concerned about using DT for this. It inherently excludes ACPI systems. You appear to have sdm845 support in this series, but what about ACPI boot on the Lenovo C630 for example? Or any of the 8cx laptops? We don't read the panel resolution, etc from DT, so why the DSC? I'm glad that work is being done to add DSC to Linux, it's something I struggled with when working on the 8998 mtp, and I realize this is a bit of a drive-by review. However, it seems like there should be a better way. > > Vinod Koul (13): > drm/dsc: Add dsc pps header init function > dt-bindings: msm/dsi: Document Display Stream Compression (DSC) > parameters > drm/msm/dsi: add support for dsc data > drm/msm/disp/dpu1: Add support for DSC > drm/msm/disp/dpu1: Add support for DSC in pingpong block > drm/msm/disp/dpu1: Add DSC support in RM > drm/msm/disp/dpu1: Add DSC for SDM845 to hw_catalog > drm/msm/disp/dpu1: Add DSC support in hw_ctl > drm/msm/disp/dpu1: Don't use DSC with mode_3d > drm/msm/disp/dpu1: Add support for DSC in encoder > drm/msm/disp/dpu1: Add support for DSC in topology > drm/msm/dsi: Add support for DSC configuration > drm/msm/dsi: Pass DSC params to drm_panel > > .../devicetree/bindings/display/msm/dsi.txt | 15 + > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_dsc.c | 11 + > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/Makefile | 1 + > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder.c | 204 +++++++++++- > .../gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder_phys.h | 11 + > .../drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder_phys_cmd.c | 2 + > .../gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_catalog.c | 22 ++ > .../gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_catalog.h | 26 ++ > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_ctl.c | 12 +- > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_ctl.h | 2 + > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_dsc.c | 221 +++++++++++++ > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_dsc.h | 79 +++++ > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_mdss.h | 13 + > .../gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_pingpong.c | 32 ++ > .../gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_pingpong.h | 14 + > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_kms.h | 1 + > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_rm.c | 32 ++ > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_rm.h | 1 + > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dsi/dsi.xml.h | 10 + > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/dsi/dsi_host.c | 293 +++++++++++++++++- > drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_drv.h | 32 ++ > include/drm/drm_dsc.h | 16 + > include/drm/drm_panel.h | 7 + > 23 files changed, 1043 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) > create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_dsc.c > create mode 100644 drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_hw_dsc.h > > -- > 2.26.3 > > _______________________________________________ > Freedreno mailing list > Freedreno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/freedreno
