[PATCH] drm/sun4i: sun8i: Add the ability to keep scaler enabled for VI layer

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

 



According to DE2.0/DE3.0 manual VI scaler enable register is double
buffered, but de facto it doesn't, or the hardware has the shadow
register latching issues which causes single-frame picture corruption
after changing the state of scaler enable register.

Allow the user to keep the scaler always enabled, preventing the UI
glitches on the transition from scaled to unscaled state.

NOTE:
UI layer scaler has more registers with double-buffering issue and can't
be workarounded in the same manner.

You may find a python test and a demo video for this issue at [1]
