[PATCH v4 5/9] drm/mipi-dsi: Introduce mipi_dsi_*_write_seq_multi()

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

 



The current mipi_dsi_*_write_seq() macros are non-intutitive because
they contain a hidden "return" statement that will return out of the
_caller_ of the macro. Let's mark them as deprecated and instead
introduce some new macros that are more intuitive.

These new macros are less optimal when an error occurs but should
behave more optimally when there is no error. Specifically these new
macros cause smaller code to get generated and the code size savings
(less to fetch from RAM, less cache space used, less RAM used) are
important. Since the error case isn't something we need to optimize
for and these new macros are easier to understand and more flexible,
they should be used.

After converting to use these new functions, one example shows some
nice savings while also being easier to understand.

Right now this patch introduces two new functions in drm_mipi_dsi.c.
Alternatively we could have changed the prototype of the "chatty"
functions and made the deprecated macros adapt to the new prototype.
While this sounds nice, it bloated callers of the deprecated functioin
a bit because it caused the compiler to emit less optimal code. It
doesn't seem terrible to add two more functions, so I went that
way. There may be cases where callers who aren't writing many
sequences prefer to use the "chatty" versions anyway.

(no changes since v3)

Changes in v3:
- Add a TODO item for cleaning up the deprecated macros/functions.
- Inline kerneldoc comments for struct mipi_dsi_multi_context.

Changes in v2:
- New

+Transition away from using mipi_dsi_*_write_seq()
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+The macros mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq() and mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq() are
+non-intuitive because, if there are errors, they return out of the *caller's*
+function. We should move all callers to use mipi_dsi_generic_write_seq_multi()
+and mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq_multi() macros instead.
+
+Once all callers are transitioned, the macros and the functions that they call,
+mipi_dsi_generic_write_chatty() and mipi_dsi_dcs_write_buffer_chatty(), can
+probably be removed. Alternatively, if people feel like the _multi() variants
+are overkill for some use cases, we could keep the mipi_dsi_*_write_seq()
+variants but change them not to return out of the caller.
