Do not generate the HS front and back porch gaps, the HSA gap and

This patch broke display on Dragonboard 845c (SDM845) devboard
running
AOSP. This is what I see

Reverting this patch fixes this regression for me.
Might be msm dsi host require proper handling on these updated
mode_flags? did they?
The msm DSI host supports those flags. Also, I'd like to point out
that the patch didn't change the rest of the driver code. So even if
drm/msm ignored some of the flags, it should not have caused the
issue. Most likely the issue is on the lt9611 side. I's suspect that
additional programming is required to make it work with these flags.
I spent some time today on smoke testing these flags (individually and
in limited combination) on DB845c, to narrow down this breakage to one
or more flag(s) triggering it. Here are my observations in limited
testing done so far.
There is no regression with MIPI_DSI_MODE_NO_EOT_PACKET when enabled
alone and system boots to UI as usual.
MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HFP always trigger the broken display as in the
screenshot[1] shared earlier as well.
Adding either of MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HSA and
MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HBP always result in no display, unless paired
with MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HFP and in that case we get the broken
display as reported.
In short other than MIPI_DSI_MODE_NO_EOT_PACKET flag, all other flags
added in this commit break the display on DB845c one way or another.
I think the investigation would be to understand why samsung-dsim
requires
such flags and/or what are the difference in behavior between MSM DSI
and samsung DSIM
for those flags ?
If someone has access to the lt9611 datasheet, so it requires
HSA/HFP/HBP to be
skipped ? and does MSM DSI and samsung DSIM skip them in the same way ?
I think there's a mismatch, where on one side this flags sets the link
in LP-11 while
in HSA/HFP/HPB while on the other it completely removes those blanking
packets.
The name MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HBP suggests removal of HPB, not LP-11
while HPB.
the registers used in both controllers are different:
- samsung-dsim: DSIM_HBP_DISABLE_MODE
- msm dsi: DSI_VID_CFG0_HBP_POWER_STOP
The first one suggest removing the packet, while the second one suggests
powering
off the line while in the blanking packet period.
@Abhinav, can you comment on that ?
I dont get what it means by completely removes blanking packets in DSIM.
It should be replacing those periods with LP11 too.
The traffic mode being used on this bridge is
MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_SYNC_PULSE which is "Non-Burst Mode with Sync Pulses".
As per this traffic mode in the DSI spec,
"Normally, periods shown as HSA (Horizontal Sync Active), HBP
(Horizontal Back Porch) and HFP (Horizontal Front Porch) are filled by
Blanking Packets, with lengths (including packet overhead) calculated
to match the period specified by the peripheral’s data sheet.
Alternatively, if there is sufficient time to transition from HS to LP
mode and back again, a timed interval in LP mode may substitute for a
Blanking Packet, thus saving power. During HSA, HBP and HFP periods, the
bus should stay in the LP-11 state."
So we can either send the blanking packets or transition to LP state and
those 3 flags are controlling exactly that during those periods for MSM
driver.
If you stop sending the blanking packets, you need to replace that gap
with LP.
One reason I can think of why this could break with MSM is perhaps we do
not have sufficient time in those periods for the LP-HS transition like
the spec has written.
1) What is the resolution which is getting broken on db845c with this? I
would like to know the full drm_display_mode for it to see how much time
we have in those periods. Is any resolution working or all are broken.
2) I also do not completely get the last line of the DSI spec on this
traffic mode. Is it suggesting that we *must* use only LP11 for those
periods in this traffic mode? I need to check little more on that.
Because if thats the case the change is doing just that and we need to
investigate the MSM failure little more. If not and its indeed optional
to save power like the DSI spec says, then its weird why DSIM should be
blank without that too.
@Jagan, Andrezej So you have any documentation on what
DSIM_xxx_DISABLE_MODE does ?
@Dmitry, so you have access to the lt9611 datasheet to know what's
needed here ?
