Hi,
I've made this drm driver worked on Tegra 3(LVDS and HDMI both).
But the code that Thierry
hosts(git://gitorious.org/thierryreding/linux.git) doesn't work
directly. If you build and run it, you'll get a white blank screen on
Tegra 3. I didn't find the root cause but I think this is not caused by
drm driver itself(maybe the PCIE codes?). The main symptom is: some
regulators can't be inited all the time. I tried to build drm driver as
kernel module, after kernel booted, modprobe the drm driver, and you'll
find there are a lot of error prints like this:
=========================================================
[ 21.383529] reg-fixed-voltage 1.regulator: Failed to find supply vin
[ 21.390299] reg-fixed-voltage 1.regulator: Failed to register
regulator: -517
[ 21.397645] platform 1.regulator: Driver reg-fixed-voltage requests
probe deferral
[ 21.405604] platform 2.regulator: Driver reg-fixed-voltage requests
probe deferral
=========================================================
This is normal; it's probe deferral. You'll find that those regulators
initialize correctly later. Hopefully tegra-drm handles this correctly,
and passes that error code through as the result of its probe.
I don't think so. In normal scenario, the regulator will be inited
correctly finally. But in the scenario I described above, these
regulators will not be inited correctly all the time. Just as I
mentioned above, I tried to build drm driver as kernel module, that
means I will load drm driver after kernel booting finished. Besides,
during the loading of drm driver, these regulator probe error were still
be printed out. And I'm sure this is not the normal case.
