The main rationale behind starting on this was that ~15 panel drivers
already implements logic to prevent the prepare/enable/disable/unprepare
functions to be called out of order.
$ cd drivers/gpu/drm/panel/; git grep enabled | grep bool | wc -l
Several of the panel drivers also implements a
mipi_dsi_driver.shutdown() or platform_driver.shutdown().
To the best of my knowledge we cannot guarantee that the upper layers
have done the proper disable()/unprepare() dance before a shutdown.
So the flags exists to allow the driver to unconditionally call
disable() / unprepare() in the shutdown methods.
Same goes for *_driver.remove()
One improvement could be to detect if the panel is prepare() when
upper layers call enable() and warn/error in this situation.
With the current implementation this is not checked at all.
Likewise for unprepare() (require it was never enabled or disable() was
caled first)
I claim the check exists for the benefit of .remove and .shutdown,
so we could also check if prepare() or enable() is called twice.
Adding logic to call prepare() automagically would hide probems in upper
layers and this was only briefly considered - and discarded as hiding
bugs.
So to sum up:
- Moving the checks from drivers to the core is a good thing
- The core shall check that a panel is prepared when enable is called
and error out if not (or warn).
- The core shall check that a panel is disabled when unprepare is called
and error out if not (or warn).
The core shall check if prepare() and enable() is called out of order.
The patch needs to be extended to cover the last three points.
Laurent / Emil / Thierry - agree/comments?
Note: Did a quick round to see if could spot any wrong use of
drm_panel_* functions.
Most looked good, but then I did not do a throughly check.
bridge/analogix/analogix_dp_core.c looks fishy.
Looks like analogix_dp_prepare_panel() is a nop the way it is called.
I did not look too much on this, maybe I am wrong.
