[PATCH 0/1] Fixing the DSI dot clock on Allwinner

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

 



According to the Allwinner A64's BSP code, the PLL rate needs to be set to the following frequency when using DSI:
PLL rate = DCLK * bpp / lanes

Source: [1]
The relevant lines for DSI (ommisions and comments mine):
dclk_rate = lcdp->panel_info.lcd_dclk_freq * 1000000;
lcd_rate = dclk_rate * clk_info.dsi_div; // dsi_div = bpp/lane
pll_rate = lcd_rate * clk_info.lcd_div;  // lcd_div = 1 --> pll_rate = lcd_rate
dsi_rate = pll_rate / clk_info.dsi_div   // --> dsi_rate = dclk_rate
clk_set_rate(lcdp->clk_parent, pll_rate);

This was already discussed by Maxime, Jagan and Michael in the past in the thread following this message: [2]. Unfortunately, there never was a conclusion in the form of code.

The attached patch is a slight variation of a patch that is part of megi's kernel branch that many PinePhone distributions (e.g. postmarketOS) use [3]. It calculates the TCON clock rate by using the formula above and dividing it by SUN6I_DSI_TCON_DIV, in order to force the parent clock to be set to the correct rate.

If I read the thread following this message [2] correctly, this was also what Maxime had in mind.

Please also note that, unfortunately, I only have a single board and panel (namely the PinePhone) to test this on.

Thanks,
  Frank
