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
https://people.linaro.org/~amit.pundir/db845c-userdebug/v6.5-broken-display/PXL_20230704_150156326.jpg.
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.
MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HFP means the HBP period is just skipped by DSIM.
Maybe there is a need for new set of flags which differentiate between
HBP skipped (i.e. NO HBP) and HBP LP11 ?
No, the section of the MIPI DSI spec I posted below clearly states there
are two options:
1) send blanking packets during those periods
2) transition to LP11 during those periods
There is no 3rd option in the spec of not doing both like what you are
suggesting. So DSIM should also be only transitioning to LP11 during
those periods if its not sending the blanking packets with those flags set.
So, there is no need for any new set of flags to differentiate.
The flags and their interpretation is correct in MSM driver. I cannot
comment on what exactly DSIM does with those flags.
How do you explain the comment in include/drm/drm_mipi_dsi.h:
128 /* disable hback-porch area */
129 #define MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HBP BIT(6)
Esp. the "disable" part. That to me reads as "don't send HBP packet".
Where do you see that quote above in the DSI spec (which chapter and
which version do you read) ?
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.
I don't think that's what MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HBP means, the way I
understand MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HBP is that it skips the HBP
completely. So if you want HBP, then do not set
MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_NO_HBP . And if you want LP11 during HBP, that is
I think up to the controller (or maybe another new flag?).
No, there is no need of another new flag. There are only two options as
per the spec.
In fact, as per my checking with more folks, requiring LP11 during those
periods is something very rare.
Because usually horizontal period is usually a very short period, most
of the time we do not use the LP11 option and send the blanking packets
instead.
So its something very unusual for DSIM.
That being said, I still think my previous question is important.
1) What is the difference between the resolution you are trying Vs what
Amit is trying?
2) Are you both using just standard HDMI monitors?
What is a "standard HDMI monitor" ?
I use DELL U2713HM .
