[PATCH 0/4] drm/msm/dpu: clearly document INTF_DP vs INTF_EDP difference

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

 



Recent dicussion on the mailing list [1], [2] outlined a need to document
which intf type is used for DP and which one is used for eDP interfaces.

This series implements my proposal [3]:

- Keep INTF_EDP reserved for 8x74/8x84
- Use INTF_DP for all contemporary DP and eDP ports
- Documet this in dpu_hw_mdss.h
- Remove INTF_EDP usage in dpu1 driver.

Main reasons behind this proposal:
- It's not always possible to separate eDP and DP. For example INTF_5 on
  sc7280 is connected to combo eDP/DP PHY.
- Using INTF_EDP would require us to split too many pieces, ending up
  with a singnificant amount of code duplication...
- ... for nothing. From the DPU point of view there is no difference
  between DP and eDP interfaces as found on current SoC generations.
