[PATCH v3 0/2] drm/panel: Add support for Novatek NT36532 panel
From: Junjie Cao
Date: Tue Aug 04 2026 - 04:29:06 EST
This series adds support for panels using the Novatek NT36532 Display
Driver IC, a dual-DSI, dual-DSC controller that requires DPU support
for MIPI_DSI_MODE_DSC_ALL_SLICES_IN_PKT.
The first user is the CSOT PPC100HB1-1 panel found in the OnePlus Pad 2
(OnePlus Pad Pro in China) tablet: 3000x2120, dual-DSI in bonded mode,
DSC 1.2 with two slices per line.
v2 has been tested on the OnePlus Pad 2: the panel comes up in its
native 3000x2120 mode at 120Hz over dual-DSI in bonded mode with DSC,
and displays a stable image. The only wire-level change in v3 is the
page 0x23 0x51 write going from two bytes to one, matching the stock
firmware DT.
Changes in v3:
- Kconfig: select DRM_DISPLAY_DSC_HELPER, DRM_DISPLAY_HELPER and
DRM_KMS_HELPER, depend on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE.
- Write the page 0x23 dimming table entry 0x51 as a plain one-byte
write instead of the two-byte DCS brightness helper.
- Spell the page 0x10 brightness write as MIPI_DCS_SET_DISPLAY_BRIGHTNESS
with an explicit 07 ff payload instead of the byte-swapped 0xff07.
- Drop accidental MIPI_DCS_* macro names from vendor-page register
writes.
- Make the DSC config const and copy it into the panel instance at
probe time.
- Support an external backlight via drm_panel_of_backlight().
- Report the panel physical size via the display mode.
