Looking at the ADF code from the Android kernel sources for a
cherrytrail tablet I noticed that it is calling the
MIPI_SEQ_ASSERT_RESET sequence from the panel prepare hook.

Until commit b1cb1bd29189 ("drm/i915/dsi: update reset and power sequences
in panel prepare/unprepare hooks") the mainline i915 code was doing the
same. That commits effectively swaps the calling of MIPI_SEQ_ASSERT_RESET /
MIPI_SEQ_DEASSERT_RESET.

Looking at the naming of the sequences that is the right thing to do,
but the problem is, that the old mainline code and the ADF code was
actually calling the right sequence (tested on a cube iwork8 air tablet),
and the swapping of the calling breaks things.

This breakage was likely not noticed in testing because on cherrytrail,
currently chv_exec_gpio ends up disabling the gpio pins rather then
setting them (this is fixed in the next patch in this patch-set).

This commit fixes the swapping by fixing MIPI_SEQ_ASSERT/DEASSERT_RESET's
places in the enum defining them, so that their (new) names match their
actual use.

Fixes: b1cb1bd29189 ("drm/i915/dsi: update reset and power sequences...")

That naming would be against the spec, so I don't think we want to do it
like this. Unless the spec is totally wrong, that is.

Given that both the ADF code and the i915 driver until now have been using
assert on prepare and deassert on unprepare I'm inclined to believe that
the spec is wrong. Is the spec available somewhere public ?

I don't think so. And sadly even if it would it wouldn't really help
since about the only thing it says is:

00 – Reserved
01 - MIPIAssertResetPin
02 – MIPISendInitialDcsCmds (Use this sequence type for sending initialization commands in LP mode)
03 - MIPIDisplayOn (Use this sequence type for sending initialization commands in HS mode)
04 – MIPIDisplayOff (Use this sequence type for sending DisplayOff commands in LP mode)
05 – MIPIDeassertResetPin
06 – MIPIBacklightOn
07 - MIPIBacklightOff
08 – MIPITearOn
09 - MIPITearOff
10 - MIPIPanelPowerOn
11 - MIPIPanelPowerOff
Others – Reserved

So pretty much useless if you actually want to write a working driver.


Also if you look at the v1 sequences with the new names:

	MIPI_SEQ_DEASSERT_RESET,
  	MIPI_SEQ_INIT_OTP,
  	MIPI_SEQ_DISPLAY_ON,
  	MIPI_SEQ_DISPLAY_OFF,
	MIPI_SEQ_ASSERT_RESET,

Then they are exactly in the order as one would call them on
enable, followed by disable, which I believe is not a coincidence.

Can you provide the VBT for the affected machine so other people can
have a look at it?

Sure I can do that, what would be the easiest way (both for me to
produce and for you to consume) to do this ?

/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_opregion

For the best chance of preserving the dump for posterity I would
suggest filing a new bug and attaching it there.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DRI&component=DRM/Intel


While developing this set, I've added printk calls to the code executing the
sequences, there are 2 gpios involved nr 60 (backlight enable AFAICT, also used
by the BACKLIGHT sequences) and 72 (reset / panel_enable ?).
When efifb is up both are 1 / high.

With the OLD naming, MIPI_SEQ_ASSERT_RESET does:

gpio 72 high
delay
gpio 72 low
delay
gpio 72 high

Hmm. OK so it just toggles the reset pin it seems.


And DEASSERT does:

gpio 72 low
gpio 60 low

And this leaves the reset pin asserted, assuming it's active low,
which your patch would seem to confirm.


So with the old naming DEASSERT leaves the panel disabled / in reset and
the backlight disabled, which is exactly what we do not want...

Right. Hmm. If we do flip them over like you suggest I think we'll at
least need a big comment to inform people why we seem to go against the
spec.

I just filed a bug against the spec, but given past history I'm not
expecting that to result in much of anything TBH.

Actually I did get a useful response. So yeah, looks like whoever wrote
the spec was standing on their head or something since the names are
opposite of how a normal person would make them.

Great, so I guess this means that I no longer need to file a bug
with my VBT ? And that my patch can be merged as is?

I'll try transcode the diagram I've seen to text:

v2 sequence for video mode:
- power on
- wait t1+t2
- MIPIAssertResetPin
- clk/data lines to lp-11
- MIPISendInitialDcsCmds
- turn on DPI
- MIPIDisplayOn
- wait t5
- backlight on
...
- backlight off
- wait t6
- MIPIDisplayOff
- turn off DPI
- clk/data lines to lp-00
- MIPIDeassertResetPin
- wait t3
- power off
- wait t4

v3 sequence for video mode:
- MIPIPanelPowerOn
- MIPIAssertResetPin
- set clk/data lines to lp-11
- MIPISendInitialDcsCmds (LP)
- turn on DPI
- MIPITearOn (command mode only) + MIPIDisplayOn (LP and HS)
- MIPIBacklightOn
...
- MIPIBacklightOff
- turn off DPI
- MIPITearOff + MIPIDisplayOff (LP)
- clk/data lines to lp-00
- MIPIDeassertResetPin
- MIPIPanelPowerOff

If I'm reading that right all the delays are part of the
VBT seqeuences already, so no need to do them in the driver.

Yes, that seems to match what printk stracing of the
VBT sequences on my tablet shows, all the delays are
already there.

I will try to modify the driver to reproduce the
sequence above as close as possible and see if that
fixes my init problems (I've a video mode panel).



sequence for command mode:
- power on
- wait t1+t2
- MIPIAssertResetPin
- clk/data lines to lp-11
- MIPISendInitialDcsCmds
- MIPITearOn
- MIPIDisplayOn
- set pipe to dsr mode
- wait t5
- backlight on
... issue write_mem_start/write_mem_continue commands ...
- backlight off
- wait t6
- disable pipe dsr mode
- MIPITearOff
- MIPIDisplayOff
- clk/data lines to lp-00
- MIPIDeassertResetPin
- wait t3
- power off
- wait t4

Obviously there's a bit of other weirdness in those sequences as well
(eg. the v3 video mode sequence making references to operations done
only in command mode), and also the MIPIDisplayOff vs. DPI off ordering
is different between v2 and v3 sequences. And the cmd mode sequence
looks more like the v2 sequence, so not sure what's the story with v3
cmd mode really.


Question what are the values for the t1 .. t6 times ?
I don't think I will need those for my tablet, but eventually we should
probably try to make the driver match the above sequences in all cases,
I at least want to prepare for that in any patches I send.

Regards,

Hans
