Re: [PATCH v7 3/3] drm: Add GUD USB Display driver

Hello Noralf,

I've made some progress with my test device. I'm implementing R1
first and once that works I'll test RGB111 as well. Along the way
I've found a couple of things in the code:

You already found RGB111 missing here.

The u16 index parameter to gud_usb_transfer() and at least also 
gud_usb_{get,set,get_u8,set_u8}() is eventually passed in u16 value
in the call to gud_usb_control_msg(), which had me confused for a bit.

What do you think about renaming all of those parameters to wValue,
to show that and where they are part of the control request? I think
it would help make the protocol more clear.


Finally, an actual bug:

> +		return ret;
> +	}

If gud_get_properties() and gud_connector_add_properties() receive
and process (only!) one or more unknown properties then they return
the number of bytes received from the device rather than 0.

I fixed this by setting ret = 0; before the for() loop, but maybe you
want to do it another way.


I found this because I can't get my device to send 0 bytes IN when
the host requests more, if I provide no data the request STALLs. This
is for sure a bug in my device and I'll come back to it, but for now
I added a dummy 65535 property as a workaround.

What do you think about formalizing this, adding an actual dummy property?

Or maybe adding flags to the display descriptor for "I have properties",
"I have connector properties" and "I have EDID" ?

Does this section also need a RGB111 case?

You mentioned that commit must not fail; what happens/should happen
if a request does fail in pipe_update()? Some reasons could be that
the device was unplugged, a bad cable is glitchy or even that some
device doesn't even implement STATE_COMMIT or does it incorrectly and
will report back failure?

Maybe this can be removed? SET_VERSION has been removed so it's no
longer used anywhere, and in any case devices typically signal that
requests are unsupported using a protocol STALL, which comes back
as -EPIPE from the USB stack.



Finally, here's the drm debug output when I connect my device:

It looks good, I think? However, neither GUD_REQ_SET_CONTROLLER_ENABLE
nor GUD_REQ_SET_DISPLAY_ENABLE is ever called, and there is no bulk
output if I write to /dev/fb0.

Can you tell what's missing?


Many thanks and kind regards
