This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/msm/mdp5: Configure PP_SYNC_HEIGHT to double the vtotal to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: drm-msm-mdp5-configure-pp_sync_height-to-double-the-.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d7976ad6a2c06ec3348eb2681dab71f4d7690d7d Author: Marijn Suijten <marijn.suijten@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 6 23:47:24 2021 +0200 drm/msm/mdp5: Configure PP_SYNC_HEIGHT to double the vtotal [ Upstream commit 2ad52bdb220de5ab348098e3482b01235d15a842 ] Leaving this at a close-to-maximum register value 0xFFF0 means it takes very long for the MDSS to generate a software vsync interrupt when the hardware TE interrupt doesn't arrive. Configuring this to double the vtotal (like some downstream kernels) leads to a frame to take at most twice before the vsync signal, until hardware TE comes up. In this case the hardware interrupt responsible for providing this signal - "disp-te" gpio - is not hooked up to the mdp5 vsync/pp logic at all. This solves severe panel update issues observed on at least the Xperia Loire and Tone series, until said gpio is properly hooked up to an irq.
