This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/tiny: ili9486: Do not assume 8-bit only SPI controllers to the 5.15-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-tiny-ili9486-do-not-assume-8-bit-only-spi-contro.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3a5cef27c27a334ba5d44d5afb9bd8bfc1794733 Author: Carlo Caione <ccaione@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 19 10:02:38 2022 +0100 drm/tiny: ili9486: Do not assume 8-bit only SPI controllers [ Upstream commit 77772e607522daa61f3af74df018559db75c43d6 ] The pixel data for the ILI9486 is always 16-bits wide and it must be sent over the SPI bus. When the controller is only able to deal with 8-bit transfers, this 16-bits data needs to be swapped before the sending to account for the big endian bus, this is on the contrary not needed when the SPI controller already supports 16-bits transfers. The decision about swapping the pixel data or not is taken in the MIPI DBI code by probing the controller capabilities: if the controller only suppors 8-bit transfers the data is swapped, otherwise it is not. This swapping/non-swapping is relying on the assumption that when the controller does support 16-bit transactions then the data is sent unswapped in 16-bits-per-word over SPI. The problem with the ILI9486 driver is that it is forcing 8-bit transactions also for controllers supporting 16-bits, violating the assumption and corrupting the pixel data. Align the driver to what is done in the MIPI DBI code by adjusting the transfer size to the maximum allowed by the SPI controller.
