this patch adds early fb blank feature that a callback of lcd panel driver
is called prior to specific fb driver's one. in case of MIPI-DSI based video
mode LCD Panel, for lcd power off, the power off commands should be
transferred to lcd panel with display and mipi-dsi controller enabled
because the commands is set to lcd panel at vsync porch period. and in
opposite case, the callback of fb driver should be called prior to lcd panel
driver's one because of same issue. and also if fb_blank mode is changed to
FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN then display controller would be off(clock disable) but
lcd panel would be still on. at this time, you could see some issue like
sparkling on lcd panel because video clock to be delivered to ldi module of
lcd panel was disabled. this issue could occurs for all lcd panels.
the callback order is as the following:
at fb_blank function of fbmem.c
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK)
-> lcd panel driver's early_set_power()
-> info->fbops->fb_blank()
-> spcefic fb driver's fb_blank()
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_BLANK)
-> lcd panel driver's set_power()
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) if
info->fops->fb_blank() was failed.
fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_R_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK) would be called to revert the
effects of previous FB_EARLY_EVENT_BLANK call. and note that if
early_set_power() of lcd_ops is NULL then early fb blank callback would be
ignored.
