Aanlogix dp is also on vop2 base soc such as rk356x and rk3588.
BTW I just looked at the downstream driver. Here we have the same
situation that the analogix dp driver calls rockchip_drm_wait_vact_end()
which is implemented in the VOP driver, so when the analogix dp driver
is actually used on a VOP2 SoC then it is either used in a way that
rockchip_drm_wait_vact_end() will never be called or it explodes in all
colours.
I added the dependency because analogix_dp-rockchip.c calls
rockchip_drm_wait_vact_end() which is implemented in the VOP driver,
so this driver currenty can't work with the VOP2 driver and can't
be linked without the VOP driver being present.
I'll add a few words to the commit message.
Maybe a better direction is move rockchip_drm_wait_vact_end from the VOP
driver to rockchip_drm_drv.c
I am not sure if that's really worth it. Yes, the direction might be the
right one, but I would really prefer when somebody does the change who
can test and confirm that the analogix dp really works with VOP2 in the
end.
If follow this point, the current DW_MIPI also has not been tested for
confirm that it
can really work with VOP2, so you should also make it depends on
ROCKCHIP_VOP.
Here you are suggesting to add even more Kconfig dependencies.
Well at least I have patches here which make DW_MIPI work with VOP2 ;)
But you DW_MIPI patches for rk356x didn't come. So this is not keep
consistency with this point.
What about the others, like LVDS and RGB?
Yes, we also have other interface , RK356X has LVDS/RGB/BT1120/BT656, RK3588
has BT1120/BT656, no LVDS or RGB.
I think the current solution is just a workaround to make your patch pass
the kernel compile
Indeed.
I agree that it would be good to add a note somewhere which outputs
work with the VOP2 driver (currently only HDMI), but I wonder if Kconfig
dependencies is the right place for it, because only people who deliberately
disable VOP support will see this information.
Maybe we should rather add it to the Kconfig help text?
If a device is supported for this soc, we will add dt node at the dtsi file.
A Kconfig dependencies don't seems a good idea.
Here you say Kconfig dependencies are no good idea.
Yes. It's not a good idea. So I don't want to see you use a Kcofig
dependence
to disable a module to avoid compile which introduced by your patch.
Ok, this means we can keep my current approach with just letting
ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP depend on ROCKCHIP_VOP to avoid having a non
Excuse me? How do you get this conclusion ?
Given that you say that you want to have both more and less Kconfig
dependencies I came to the conclusion that I only add one where it's
necessary to compile the driver.
I said before, vop and vop2 based platforms both have ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP.
Maybe, but vop2 with ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP doesn't even work in the
Rockchip downstream kernel, so I wonder how relevant this usecase really
is.
No, this is not the truth. Rockchip_ANALOGIX_DP of course work with the
vendor kernel. We have many rk356x based products shipped with edp.
Even the VGA output interface on RK3568_EVB1 is drived by
ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP with a RTD2166 eDP to VGA convert
chip.
So how do you get conclusion that ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP can't work with
the Rockchip downstream kernel? Is it because you can't make the DP work on
your board? If it is, please contact the supplier who gave you the board.
In the downstream kernel I have available (which is a 5.10.66)
analogix_dp-rockchip.c calls rockchip_drm_wait_vact_end() which is
implemented in rockchip_drm_vop.c and assumes that the passed struct
drm_crtc * can be converted to a struct vop *. Basically it's the same
situation we have right now with the mainline kernel, just that the
linker issues won't show up because the VOP driver can't be disabled
in the downstream kernel.
So you judge ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP can't work by this(as vop2 doesn't has
rockchip_drm_wait_vact_end interface)?
No, you may not know clearly about this function, this function is used
for eDP PSR, which is a
optional function, that means not every eDP panel has PSR function(this
function usually parsed from edid).
This really not means than ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP can't work.
And your 5.10 downstream kernel seems out of dated. We have already move
this function out from rockchip_drm_vop to rockchip_drm_drv.
Do you have a RK3568_EVB1 that has a VGA output interface on board?
If you have it, I can offer you image to verify the DP.
If this patch will cause the compile error, please do a real fix, not a
I can't, because I don't have any hardware to test the Analogix DP on a
VOP hardware, and given that Analogix DP in conjunction with VOP2 hardware is
not even supported in the downstream Kernel I am not sure if it's really
worth doing that.
Again, this is not the truth, see above.
I am not ask you support the ROCKCHIP_ANALOGIX_DP on upstream, I just
want you can give a better solution when you patch cause the compile error.
Disable a module when it conflict with your patch is too rough.
It does not conflict with my patch. The dependency only means that you can't
enable the Analogix DP driver when the VOP driver is disabled. That
doesn't hurt, because currently you can't do anything with the Analogix
DP driver without the VOP driver. With the added dependency the Analogix DP
driver can still be used with the VOP driver, even when the VOP2 driver
is enabled. I really can't see a problem with that.
