Thanks, I'll apply this to omapdss fixes branch.
Hi, just one point here, this patch is a prerequisite for the patch 2/4
in this series. So we need to make sure that the 2/4 patch is not
without this one in a kernel.
Tomi,
About patch '2/4', could you have a look at it too? It basically tries
to do a dynamic assignment of channels to outputs. I worked on this
before you posted the misc series with recommended_channel for outputs.
This patch tries to figure out managers with supported_outputs. It isn't
the most optimal way, as it can't back track and chose a better manager,
but it still seems to do a reasonable job.
We could also use the recommended channel way for omapdrm, I can't
figure out what's the better approach at the moment.
Hmm, I think it'd be safer to use the recommended channel from omapdss
for now. The current omapdss code doesn't really let you use any other
channel than the recommended one (which was thus renamed to
dispc_channel in my later version).
I think omapdss needs to give the freedom to set a different dispc
manager for an output. This is because in omapdrm crtcs are sort of
floating, and when a connector(and it's encoder) needs to be enabled, it
tries to look search for a crtc it can connect to. If omapdss sort of
fixes the output->manager link, which is not how it should work.
I think it is fine for us to use this approach for omapfb when creating
the links, but not within dss.
For example, the code here:
- /*
- * XXX We shouldn't need dssdev->channel for this. The dsi pll clock
- * source for DPI is SoC integration detail, not something that should
- * be configured in the dssdev
- */
- dsidev = dpi_get_dsidev(dssdev->channel);
+ dsidev = dpi_get_dsidev(dpi.output.dispc_channel);
We are sort of using the recommended channel to figure out which DSI pll
to use. We don't have much of an option here because dpi_init_display()
happens much earlier. But if it were to connect to a different manager
later on, we would get into trouble.
Or does your patch do a better job at selecting the outputs (I'm mostly
thinking about OMAP5 here, which has a bit more conflicts with the mgrs
and outputs than earlier omaps).
My approach is very drm oriented, the problem with omapdrm right now is
that we want to limit the number of crtcs(which map to managers). The
lesser the number of crtcs, the more free planes we have for overlaying.
If through bootargs or CONFIG, we set NUM_CRTCs to 2. We can only set up
only 2 overlay managers. My patch just tries to figure out which are the
best 2 managers to choose out of the total number of managers, in such a
way that most encoders/panels on the platform are supported.
The drm framework(I think) keeps the connections between crtc and
encoders flexible through the possible_crtcs flag maintained by
encoders. It figures out which crtc is free, and tries to use that one
at that moment. Once that encoder is done using it, the crtc can be used
by another encoder later. We can also change the crtc of an
encoder(after it's off).
So omapdss fixing the dispc channel for an output doesn't seem suitable
for drm.
