The non-ports-based OF graph returns a -19 example on the Allwinner
Display pipeline in R16 [1].
We need to have a helper to return host_node for non-ports as I have
done it for drm_of_find_bridge.
[1] https://patchwork.amarulasolutions.com/patch/1805/
The link points to a patch marked "DO NOT MERGE", maybe that patch is
missing the DSI host port@0 OF graph link ? Both port@0 and port@1 are
required, see:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/bridge/chipone,icn6211.yaml#n53
What is "non-ports-based OF graph" ?
I don't see drm_of_find_bridge() in linux-next , what is that ?
port@0 is optional as some of the DSI host OF-graph represent the
bridge or panel as child nodes instead of ports. (i think dt-binding
has to fix it to make port@0 optional)
The current upstream DT binding document says:
required:
- port@0
- port@1
So port@0 is mandatory.
In the binding, sure, but fundamentally the DT excerpt Jagan provided is
correct. If the bridge supports DCS, there's no reason to use the OF
graph in the first place: the bridge node will be a child node of the
MIPI-DSI controller (and there's no obligation to use the OF-graph for a
MIPI-DSI controller).
I believe port@0 should be made optional (or downright removed if
MIPI-DCS in the only control bus).
That's out of scope of this series anyway, so Jagan can implement patches
for that mode if needed.
Not really? You can't count on the port@0 being there generally
speaking, so you can't count on data-lanes being there either, which
exactly what you're doing in this patch.
I can because the upstream DT bindings currently say port@0 must be present,
see above. If that requirement should be relaxed, sure, but that's a
separate series.
And another upstream DT bindings say that you don't need them at all.
Which "another upstream DT bindings" do you refer to ?
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/mipi-dsi-bus.txt
Yes, there's a conflict. Yes, it's unfortunate. But the generic DSI
binding is far more relevant than a single bridge driver.
That seems to be the wrong way around, how can generic subsystem-wide
binding take precedence over specific driver binding ?
This is the binding of the bus. You're part of that bus. You're a child
node of that bus, but nothing ever mandates that your parent node uses
the same convention. And some don't. And since your bridge can be
connected to pretty much any DSI controller, you have to use the lowest
common denominator, not make up some new constraints that not all
controller will be able to comply with.
It seems to me the ICN6211 DT bindings currently further constraint the
generic DSI bus bindings, and that seems OK to me.
Let me reiterate this again -- if someone wants to relax the
requirements currently imposed by the ICN6211 DT bindings, fine, but
that can be done in a separate patchset AND that needs DT bindings
update. Furthermore, there are no users of this ICN6211 bridge in
upstream DTs, so there is currently no bridge which would operate
without OF graph using this driver.
So figuring it out is very much a prerequisite to that series,
especially since those patches effectively make the OF-graph mandatory
in some situations, while it was purely aesthetics before.
The OF-graph is mandatory per the DT bindings of this driver. If you
implement invalid DT which does not contain port@0, it will fail DT
validation.
If this requirement should be relaxed, sure, it can and I don't think it
would be hard to do, but I don't see why that should be part of this series,
which follows the upstream DT binding document for this driver.
If I cannot trust the driver DT bindings to indicate what is and is not
mandatory, what other document can I trust then ...
Oh, come on. Doing that, you also require OF-Graph support for the DSI
controller you attach to, and you can't require that. This is very
different from just requiring a property that doesn't have any impact on
any other device, and you know that very well.
Currently the ICN6211 DT bindings DO require that kind of bridge.
The new ad-hoc requirement to support operation with invalid DT bindings
is something I don't agree with, sorry. But there is a way to cater for
this new requirement, see above. It just won't be in this series,
because I have no such bridge and I cannot test it in any way, so
someone else has to do that.
Anyway, you wanted my review. You have it. Do what you want with it.
I see.
