[PATCH v7 0/2]dd support for Tianma nt36672a video mode panel

From: Sumit Semwal
Date: Wed Sep 02 2020 - 02:44:27 EST


Some Poco F1 phones from Xiaomi have a FHD+ video mode panel based on the
Novatek NT36672A display controller; Add support for the same.

Most of the panel data is taken from downstream panel dts, and is converted to
drm-panel based driver by me.

It has been validated with v5.9-rc1 based drm-misc-next on Poco F1 phone; my tree with other
dependent patches is here [1]

v2: In dt-binding, removed ports node, making port@0 directly under panel@0 node.
Also updated the panel_on delay to a safer 200ms as needed for latest Android.
v3: Replaced port@0 with just port in panel@0 node.
v4: Since "0425662fdf05: drm: Nuke mode->vrefresh", we have to calculate
vrefresh on demand. Update for it.
v5: Fixed review comments from Sam:
- rebased on top of drm-misc-next
remove return of drm_panel_add()
remove drm_panel_detach()
- renamed the panel driver file to reflect that this is a novatek
nt36672a display driver and not only for tianma panels.
Adjusted some internal names also to reflect the same.
- corrected changelog to add info about the generic Novatek DSI IC
- corrected compatible string accordingly
- removed pinctrl
- used drm_panel* API for prepare/unprepare/disable/remove
v6: Fixed few review comments on v5 from Sam:
- add dev_err_probe() support
- move DRM_* error printing to dev_err()
- removed a few unnecessary bits
v7: Fixed review comments on v6 from Bjorn:
- Reworked the send_mipi_commands functionality
- removed regulator disable_loads; moved active_load setting to probe
time
- made function names and struct less generic
- updated the reset_gpio working to active_low
- update MAINTAINERS for file name changes
