Re: [PATCH v5 2/7] drm/panel: simple: Add ability to override typical timing

[Sam Ravnborg]

Hi Douglas.

Again, long overdue. The review triggered several questions that you
should have had a long time ago.
Hopefully they makes sense to you.

I fail to see where this poiter is assigned.

This looks suspicious.
panel->override_mode.type is an unsigned int that may have a number of
bits set.
So the above code implicitly convert a .type != 0 to a true.
This can be expressed in a much more reader friendly way.

And on top of this, I cannot see that panel->override_mode points to a
valid instance of display_mode, at least not always.

This part I fail to understand.
If we have a panel where we in panel-simple have specified the timings,
and done so using display_timing so with proper {min, typ, max} then it
should be perfectly legal to specify a more precise variant in the DT
file.
Or what did I miss here?

The binding do not say anything about flags. Is this check really
needed?

Naming bike-shedding.
With the new node name, the function name
panel_simple_parse_override_mode() could use an update.
Maybe: panel_simple_parse_panel_timing_node()
