Checkout my branch: https://github.com/aford173/linux/commit/183cf6d154afeb9b0300500b09d7b8ec53047a12 I found that certain resolutions don't properly round, and it seemed to be related to the size of HFP. HFP of 110 when divded between 4 lanes, required a round-up, but then I had to recalculate the rest of the horizontal timings to compensate. I was going to push that as an RFC, but I will investigate your patch series first. With my small rounding correction, I am able to get 720x480 and 720p on my imx8mp, but not my mini/nano, so I am hoping your patch series fixes that issue for me. > > Unfortunately, a few more modes are still not working at all.

Hopefully the comment in my above patch explains how the calculation is corrected and adjusted to get some of the missing resolutions. > Michael > > Signed-off-by: Michael Tretter <m.tretter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I'll try to reivew this week and respond with my feedback. adam > --- > Marco Felsch (1): > drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: add more mipi-dsi device debug information > > Michael Tretter (4): > drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: reread ref clock before configuring PLL > drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: update PLL reference clock > drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: adjust porches by rounding up > drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: calculate porches in Hz > > drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/samsung-dsim.c | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- > include/drm/bridge/samsung-dsim.h | 1 + > 2 files changed, 31 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) > --- > base-commit: 2dde18cd1d8fac735875f2e4987f11817cc0bc2c > change-id: 20230818-samsung-dsim-42346444bce5 > > Best regards, > -- > Michael Tretter <m.tretter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >
