Hi Thomas, Thank you for the patch. On Thu, Mar 05, 2020 at 04:59:28PM +0100, Thomas Zimmermann wrote: > A call to drm_simple_encoder_init() initializes an encoder without > further functionality.

I've reviewed the whole series, including verifying that the few instances of struct drm_encoder_funcs that were not declared const were not modified somewhere to add more function pointers. Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for all the patches. However, I'd like to note that drm_simple_encoder_init() is a bit of a misnommer here. Several of the encoders in those drivers to implement additional functionality. They just expose them through drm_encoder_helper_funcs, not drm_encoder_funcs. > Future directions: There's another common case where the driver > calls kzalloc() plus drm_encoder_init().

I think an even more interesting future enhancement would be to add encoder support to the newly added drm_bridge_connector_init(), for drivers that are fully based on bridges and don't implement any encoder operation, neither through drm_encoder_funcs nor through drm_encoder_helper_funcs. > The patchset has been compile-tested on x86-64, aarch64 and arm. > > Thomas Zimmermann (22): > drm/arc: Use simple encoder > drm/atmel-hlcdc: Use simple encoder > drm/exynos: Use simple encoder > drm/fsl-dcu: Use simple encoder > drm/gma500: Use simple encoder > drm/hisilicon/kirin: Use simple encoder > drm/i2c/tda998x: Use simple encoder > drm/imx: Use simple encoder > drm/ingenic: Use simple encoder > drm/mediatek: Use simple encoder > drm/rcar-du: Use simple encoder > drm/rockchip: Use simple encoder > drm/shmobile: Use simple encoder > drm/sun4i: Use simple encoder > drm/tegra: Use simple encoder > drm/tidss: Use simple encoder > drm/tilcdc: Use simple encoder > drm/vc4: Use simple encoder > drm/virtgpu: Use simple encoder > drm/vkms: Use simple encoder > drm/writeback: Use simple encoder > drm/zte: Use simple encoder > > drivers/gpu/drm/arc/arcpgu_hdmi.c | 10 +++------- > drivers/gpu/drm/arc/arcpgu_sim.c | 8 ++------ > .../gpu/drm/atmel-hlcdc/atmel_hlcdc_output.c | 12 ++++-------- > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_writeback.c | 10 +++------- > drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_dp.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dpi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dsi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_vidi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_hdmi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/fsl-dcu/fsl_dcu_drm_rgb.c | 14 +++----------- > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/cdv_intel_crt.c | 14 +++----------- > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/cdv_intel_dp.c | 16 +++------------- > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/cdv_intel_hdmi.c | 4 ++-- > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/cdv_intel_lvds.c | 17 +++-------------- > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/mdfld_dsi_dpi.c | 7 +++---- > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/mdfld_output.h | 1 - > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/mdfld_tmd_vid.c | 6 ------ > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/mdfld_tpo_vid.c | 6 ------ > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/oaktrail_hdmi.c | 14 ++------------ > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/oaktrail_lvds.c | 5 +++-- > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/psb_intel_drv.h | 1 - > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/psb_intel_lvds.c | 18 +++--------------- > drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/tc35876x-dsi-lvds.c | 5 ----- > drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/kirin/dw_drm_dsi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/i2c/tda998x_drv.c | 14 +++----------- > drivers/gpu/drm/imx/dw_hdmi-imx.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/imx/imx-drm-core.c | 6 ------ > drivers/gpu/drm/imx/imx-drm.h | 1 - > drivers/gpu/drm/imx/imx-ldb.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/imx/imx-tve.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/imx/parallel-display.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/ingenic/ingenic-drm.c | 9 +++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/mediatek/mtk_dpi.c | 14 +++----------- > drivers/gpu/drm/mediatek/mtk_dsi.c | 14 +++----------- > drivers/gpu/drm/rcar-du/rcar_du_encoder.c | 14 +++----------- > .../gpu/drm/rockchip/analogix_dp-rockchip.c | 9 +++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/cdn-dp-core.c | 9 +++------ > .../gpu/drm/rockchip/dw-mipi-dsi-rockchip.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/dw_hdmi-rockchip.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/inno_hdmi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rk3066_hdmi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_lvds.c | 10 +++------- > drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_rgb.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/shmobile/shmob_drm_crtc.c | 14 +++----------- > drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_hdmi_enc.c | 12 +++--------- > drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_lvds.c | 12 +++--------- > drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_rgb.c | 17 +++-------------- > drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun4i_tv.c | 17 +++-------------- > drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun6i_mipi_dsi.c | 12 +++--------- > drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun8i_dw_hdmi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/drm.h | 2 -- > drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/dsi.c | 10 +++------- > drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/hdmi.c | 9 +++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/output.c | 6 +----- > drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/rgb.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/sor.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/tidss/tidss_encoder.c | 10 +++------- > drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc/tilcdc_external.c | 10 +++------- > drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc/tilcdc_panel.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_dpi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_dsi.c | 15 +++------------ > drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_hdmi.c | 17 ++++------------- > drivers/gpu/drm/vc4/vc4_vec.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_display.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/vkms/vkms_output.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/zte/zx_hdmi.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/zte/zx_tvenc.c | 8 ++------ > drivers/gpu/drm/zte/zx_vga.c | 8 ++------ > 68 files changed, 151 insertions(+), 488 deletions(-) -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
