[PATCH v5 0/5] drm/tiny: Add MIPI DBI compatible SPI driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This patchset adds a driver that will work with most MIPI DBI compatible
SPI panels out there.

It can replace the SPI interface support in these drivers:

$ grep -lr MIPI_DCS drivers/staging/fbtft/ | grep -v "-" | uniq | sort
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_hx8340bn.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_hx8353d.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_hx8357d.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_ili9163.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_ili9340.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_ili9341.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_ili9481.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_ili9486.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_s6d02a1.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_st7735r.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_st7789v.c
drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_tinylcd.c

Note that the MIPI DBI parallel interface supported by fbtft does not
yet exist in DRM.

Maxime gave[1] a good overview of the situation with these displays and
proposed to make a driver that works with all MIPI DBI compatible
controllers and use a firmware file to provide the controller setup for
a particular panel.

Changes since version 4:
- Add sainsmart18 to compatible items (Rob)
- Expand write-only description (Sam)
- kconfig: s/DRM_KMS_CMA_HELPER/DRM_GEM_CMA_HELPER/ (Sam)
- kconfig: Add select VIDEOMODE_HELPERS (Sam)
- kconfig: Add wiki url in the description (Sam)
- Split out and use of_get_drm_panel_display_mode()(Sam)
- Only use the first compatible to look for a firmware file since the
  binding mandates 2 compatibles.
- Make having a firmware file mandatory so we can print an error
  message if it's missing to improve the user experience. It's very
  unlikely that a controller doesn't need to be initialized and if
  it doesn't, it's possible to have a firmware file containing only
  a DCS NOP.

See wiki[2] for a script to make command firmware files.

Noralf.
