The VCO rate was being miscalculated due to a big overlook during
the process of porting this driver from downstream to upstream:
here we are really recalculating the rate of the VCO by reading
the appropriate registers and returning a real frequency, while
downstream the driver was doing something entirely different.

In our case here, the recalculated rate was wrong, as it was then
given back to the set_rate function, which was erroneously doing
a division on the fractional value, based on the prescaler being
either enabled or disabled: this was actually producing a bug for
which the final VCO rate was being doubled, causing very obvious
issues when trying to drive a DSI panel because the actual divider
value was multiplied by two!

To make things work properly, remove the multiplication of the
reference clock by two from function dsi_pll_calc_dec_frac and
account for the prescaler enablement in the vco_recalc_rate (if
the prescaler is enabled, then the hardware will divide the rate
by two).

This will make the vco_recalc_rate function to pass the right
frequency to the (clock framework) set_rate function when called,
which will - in turn - program the right values in both the
DECIMAL_DIV_START_1 and the FRAC_DIV_START_{LOW/MID/HIGH}_1
registers, finally making the PLL to output the right clock.

Also, while at it, remove the prescaler TODO by also adding the
possibility of disabling the prescaler on the PLL (it is in the
PLL_ANALOG_CONTROLS_ONE register).
Of course, both prescaler-ON and OFF cases were tested.

This somehow breaks things on sc7180 (display gets stuck at first
frame of splash screen). (This is a setup w/ an ti-sn65dsi86 dsi->eDP
bridge)


First frame of the splash means that something is "a bit" wrong...
...like the DSI clock is a little off.

I don't have such hardware, otherwise I would've tried... but what you
describe is a bit strange.
Is there any other older qcom platform using this chip? Any other
non-qcom platform? Is the driver for the SN65DSI86 surely fine?
Anyway, as you know, I would never propose untested patches nor
partially working ones for any reason: I'm sorry that this happened.

In any case, just to be perfectly transparent, while being here waiting
for review, this patch series got tested on more smartphones, even ones
that I don't personally own, with different displays.

For your reference, here's a list (all MSM8998..):
- OnePlus 5 (1920x1080)
- F(x)Tec Pro 1 (2160x1080)
- Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact (1280x720)
- Sony Xperia XZ1 (1920x1080)
- Sony Xperia XZ Premium (3840x2160)


Also, something (I assume DSI related) that I was testing on
msm-next-staging seems to have effected the colors on the panel (ie.
they are more muted).. which seems to persist across reboots (ie. when

So much "fun". This makes me think something about the PCC block doing
the wrong thing (getting misconfigured).

switching back to a good kernel), and interestingly if I reboot from a
good kernel I see part of the login prompt (or whatever was previously
on-screen) in the firmware ui screen !?! (so maybe somehow triggered
the display to think it is in PSR mode??)


From a fast read, the SN65DSI86 is on I2C.. giving it a wrong dsi clock
cannot produce (logically, at least) this, so I say that it is very
unlikely for this to be a consequence of the 10nm pll fixes...

...unless the bootloader is not configuring the DSI rates, but that's
also veeeeery unlikely (it always does, or it always does not).

Not sure if that is caused by these patches, but if I can figure out
how to get the panel back to normal I can bisect. I think for now
I'll drop this series. Possibly it could be a
two-wrongs-makes-a-right situation that had things working before, but
I think someone from qcom who knows the DSI IP should take a look.


I would be happy if someone from Qualcomm takes a look: after all, there
is no documentation and they're the only ones that can verify this kind
of stuff. Please, Qualcomm.

Besides that, if there's anything I can help with to solve this riddle,
I'm here for you.

Yours,
