Hi Jani,

Thanks for the review comments.

Regarding the first 2 patches, I was doing almost the same thing in my
3rd and 4th patch. But your patches are more generic.

Regarding the 3rd patch, I have a comment:

Since in case of dual link panels, few panels may require sequence to be
sent only on Port A or Port C or both. In that case,
for_each_dsi_port(port, intel_dsi->ports) will cause it to be sent to
both ports.
To resolve this, in the earlier patches, intel_dsi->port was used which
gets calculated to either 0 or 1 in mipi_exec_send_packet(). This value
of 0 or 1 is dependent on sequence block#53.

  From now on as we will be using the _PORT3() macro for using proper
MIPI regs, then for this scenario, we may need to have some
workaround/hardcode type of code again. May I know your suggestion on this?
Perhaps patch 3/3 was a bad place for the for_each_dsi_port example - it
should have been put into intel_dsi.c. Maybe you'll need to add the port
as parameter to the functions in intel_dsi_cmd.c, and let the caller
decide which port should be used? I want to avoid any platform/panel
specific special casing in intel_dsi.c and intel_dsi_cmd.c.

I think the general case for for_each_dsi_port is in intel_dsi.c anyway.

BR,
Jani.

Hi Jani,

My patches are ready on top of your first 2 patches. Once your patches are merged, I will push my whole set of patches for review.

With regards,
Gaurav

Hi Shobhit and Gaurav -

I've been pondering this whole MIPI DSI pipes vs. ports thing and
discussing with Ville and others. Rather than try and fail in explaining
the ideas, here are some concrete patches to describe what I'd like to
be done first.

The most important thing is that we don't confuse the pipes and
ports. Getting confused was easy with the pipe B mapping to port C, and
the register defines being very confused/confusing about it. These
patches attempt to fix that. Before adding dual link support, there's a
simple function mapping the pipe to port.

Next up is expanding that to handle multiple ports driven from one
pipe. That's handled by adding intel_dsi->ports bitmap that has the bit
set for each port that is to be driven. I've added the bitmap and some
helpers to iterate over the configured ports, but there's no actual
support for doing the configuration. I'm hoping you could take over from
here. There's a sample patch about the usage.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply. With the new stuff coming in,
I really think it's important to get the foundation right
first. Especially because I'm to blame for getting some of the port/pipe
stuff confused in the first place...

BR,
Jani.
