[PATCH v4] drm/msm/dsi: Document DSC related pclk_rate and hdisplay calculations

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

 



Provide actual documentation for the pclk and hdisplay calculations in
the case of DSC compression being used.

Changes since v3:
- refresh rate -> transfer time (Abhinav)

Changes since v2:
- Followed suggestion by Abhinav and Marijn to improve documentatry
  comments.

Changes since v1:
- Converted dsi_adjust_pclk_for_compression() into kerneldoc (Marijn)
- Added a pointer from dsi_timing_setup() docs to
  dsi_adjust_pclk_for_compression() (Marijn)
- Fixed two typo (Marijn)

+ * dsi_adjust_pclk_for_compression() - Adjust the pclk rate for compression case
+ * @mode: The selected mode for the DSI output
+ * @dsc: DRM DSC configuration for this DSI output
+ *
+ * Adjust the pclk rate by calculating a new hdisplay proportional to
+ * the compression ratio such that:
+ *     new_hdisplay = old_hdisplay * compressed_bpp / uncompressed_bpp
+ *
+ * Porches do not need to be adjusted:
+ * - For VIDEO mode they are not compressed by DSC and are passed as is.
+ * - For CMD mode there are no actual porches. Instead these fields
+ *   currently represent the overhead to the image data transfer. As such, they
+ *   are calculated for the final mode parameters (after the compression) and
+ *   are not to be adjusted too.
+ *
+ *  FIXME: Reconsider this if/when CMD mode handling is rewritten to use
+ *  transfer time and data overhead as a starting point of the calculations.
