[PATCH v1 1/2] drm/mipi-dbi: honour the plane source offset when flushing

From: Jonathan Frazin

Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 15:02:39 EST


mipi_dbi_fb_dirty() takes the damage rectangle from
drm_atomic_helper_damage_merged(), which is expressed in framebuffer
coordinates and already clipped to the plane's source rectangle. It
then passed that rectangle straight to mipi_dbi_set_window_address(),
which is correct only while the source rectangle starts at (0,0) - i.e.
while the framebuffer is exactly panel-sized.

If a driver allows a framebuffer larger than the panel and the plane
selects a sub-region with a non-zero src_x/src_y, the controller was
still addressed in framebuffer coordinates, so the wrong part of the
panel was written and an out-of-range window could be programmed.

Pass the integer plane source origin down to mipi_dbi_fb_dirty() and
subtract it when programming the column/page address. The copy into the
transfer buffer still uses the framebuffer-coordinate rectangle, so it
keeps reading the correct pixels from an oversized source. With a
panel-sized framebuffer src_x/src_y are zero and behaviour is unchanged.
