Yes, the relevant part of this setting is whether the panel will sample the data bus on the falling or rising edge of the pixel clock signal. The display interface has guarantee that the data bus is stable around that time. > So here I think you could maybe have a comment pointing to > display-timings.txt, or perhaps a short comment about what the flag is. > Or if you come up with a great name for the define, that's good too =). We have the choice of describing the flag from point of view of the display controller (as the DISPLAY_FLAGS do), from point of view of the panel, or using a somewhat neutral description like in the device tree. Which choice I'd prefer depends on whether the flags go into drm_display_mode / drm_mode_modeinfo or in drm_display_info. In any case, I think that it'd be better to talk about driving or sampling data on rising or falling edges instead of clock polarity. > The other comment is not about this patch as such, but similar flags > that OMAP has, and possibly some other platforms too: > > 1) sync signals driven on rising or falling edge of pixel clock > 2) hsync and vsync happen at the same time or hsync happens first, > followed by vsync > > Any other platforms have similar features? The i.MX6 display interface consists of a number of rather freely configurable signal generators, so all of this should be possible to do. regards Philipp -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
