[PATCH 09/20] drm/bridge: tc358775: remove complex vsdelay calculation
Posted by Michael Walle 4 months, 2 weeks ago
To cite the datasheet on VSDELAY:
  During DSI link speed is slower than that of LVDS link’s, data needs
  to be buffer within 775XBG before outputting to prevent data from
  underflow. Register field VPCTRL[VSDELAY] is used to for this purpose

This driver assumes that the DSI link speed is the pixel clock (as does
every DSI bridge driver), after all the LVDS clock is derived from the
DSI clock. Thus we know for a fact, that the DSI link is not slower than
the LVDS side. Just use the (sane) default value of the bridge and drop
the complicated calculation here.

While at it, replace the TC358775_VPCTRL_MSF() and
TC358775_VPCTRL_OPXLFMT() inline functions by the usual macros for a bit
flag.

I am not convinced this is a good idea to revert to a default
VSdelay value. I tested your patch series with RK3399 platform
and default value (5) was not enough there. There was small data
underflow visible, resulting in display offset. Removing this patch
and using the original calculation formula fixed the problem.
The calculated VSDELAY value seems to be a lot bigger than required,
but keeps us on the safe side.

It looks that hback-porch value for panel is used also on DSI link,
effectively delaying hactive data delivered to TC358775 bridge.
I suspect this causes the requirement for higher VSDELAY.

Did you use just parts of this series or did you port the "lp11
notify" mechanism to the rk3399 platform? Please keep in mind, that
this bridge doesn't really work if the reset isn't deasserted during
lp-11 mode and lots of odd things happen.

Also, do you know if you have an EEPROM attached to the bridge or
does any firmware part initialize that bridge?

It was ages ago since I've worked on this bridge and extensively
tested and even measured and decoded the DSI link and the LVDS
stream. But IIRC this delay was only to compensate the difference
between the DSI clock and the LVDS clock, that is, if you push the
pixel stream slower into the bridge than the bridge is pushing it
out to the LVDS panel.

So the back porch should be irrelevant here (?!).

I pulled in your complete series and ported "lp11 notify" to RK3399.
Both reset and standby pins are connected to the bridge on my board.

The initialization is done only by Linux kernel driver with your patches.

That was also my initial understanding, but for some reason original algorithm
for VSDELAY in tc358775 driver, takes blanking period into calculation.
It does not base only on DSI and LVDS clocks.
Additionally, my experiments show that the default value is too low
in my configuration.
