[PATCH v20] drm/msm/dpu: Enable quad-pipe for DSC and dual-DSI case
Posted by Jun Nie 2 months ago
To support high-resolution cases that exceed the width constrain
or scenarios that surpass the maximum MDP clock rate, additional
pipes are necessary to enable parallel data processing within
the width constraints and MDP clock rate.

Expand pipe array size to 4. Request 4 mixers and 4 DSCs for
high-resolution cases where dual interfaces are enabled for virtual
plane case. More use cases can be incorporated later if quad-pipe
capabilities are required.

2 or more SSPPs and dual-DSI interface are need for super wide panel.
And 4 DSC are preferred for power optimal in this case due to width
limitation of SSPP and MDP clock rate constrain. This patch set
extends number of pipes to 4 and revise related mixer blending logic
to support quad pipe. All these changes depends on the virtual plane
feature to split a super wide drm plane horizontally into 2 or more sub
clip. Thus DMA of multiple SSPPs can share the effort of fetching the
whole drm plane.

The first pipe pair co-work with the first mixer pair to cover the left
half of screen and 2nd pair of pipes and mixers are for the right half
of screen. If a plane is only for the right half of screen, only one
or two of pipes in the 2nd pipe pair are valid, and no SSPP or mixer is
assinged for invalid pipe.

For those panel that does not require quad-pipe, only 1 or 2 pipes in
the 1st pipe pair will be used. There is no concept of right half of
screen.

For legacy non virtual plane mode, the first 1 or 2 pipes are used for
the single SSPP and its multi-rect mode.

This patch set drop the merged heading 8 patches of v16, only the last
2 are revised and split into 4 patches here.

And I'm going to drop it again.

I tested on the SDM845, it tried enabling QUAD_PIPE for the follwing
mode, which then broke the display.

        mode: "3840x2160": 30 297000 3840 4016 4104 4400 2160 2168 2178 2250 0x40 0x5

What's the platform? To enable QUAD_PIPE, both virtual plane feature and 2
real time RT interfaces are needed besides width exceeding the constrain.
If all conditions in the dpu_crtc_get_topology() are met, why QUAD_PIPE
cannot be enabled on this platform, any other condition shall be added?

The platform is SDM845 HDK, it should also be reproducible on the RB3
platform, which uses the same chip. I assume the difference is related
to the active vs non-active CTL (which means that QUAD PIPE needs to be
disabled for all platforms before 5.x). I've asked my colleagues to test
quad pipe on other platforms, I'll report on it later.

But it also surprised me that the code selects 4 LMs for the 4k@30 mode.
It should be prefectly working with just 2LMs and 2 rectangles.
