[PATCH v7 00/13] Add support for PinePhone LCD panel

From: Ondrej Jirman
Date: Wed Jul 01 2020 - 12:29:37 EST


This patchset adds support for the LCD panel of PinePhone.

I've tested this on PinePhone 1.0 and 1.2.

Please take a look.

thank you and regards,
Ondrej Jirman

Changes in v7:
- Removed mode.vrefresh, rebased onto next-20200701
- v6->v7 diff: https://megous.com/dl/tmp/v6-v7.patch

Changes in v6:
- Fixed spacing in yaml
- Fixed wrong vccio->iovcc supply name in the bindings doc
- I noticed that the original driver uses a delay of 20ms in the init
function to achieve a combined total of 120ms required from post-reset
to display_on. I've added a similar delay to xbd599_init, so that
xbd599 panel also has the right timing. (patch 9)
- v5->v6 diff: https://megous.com/dl/tmp/v5-v6.patch
- Added review/ack tags
- Learned to run dt_binding_check by myself ;)

Changes in v5:
- rewritten on top of rocktech-jh057n00900 driver
- rocktech-jh057n00900 renamed to st7703 (controller name)
- converted rocktech-jh057n00900 bindings to yaml and extended for xbd599

Changes in v4:
- use ->type from the mode instead of hardcoding (Samuel)
- move init_sequence to ->prepare (Samuel)
- move anti-flicker delay to ->enable, explain it (Samuel)
- add enter_sleep after display_off (Samuel)
- drop ->disable (move code to ->unprepare)
- add ID bytes dumping (Linus)
(I can't test it since allwinner DSI driver has a broken
dcs_read function, and I didn't manage to fix it.)
- document magic bytes (Linus)
- assert reset during powerup
- cleanup powerup timings according to the datasheet

Changes in v3:
- Panel driver renamed to the name of the LCD controller
- Re-organize the driver slightly to more easily support more panels
based on the same controller.
- Add patch to enable the touchscreen to complete the LCD support
on PinePhone.
- Dropped the "DSI fix" patch (the driver seems to work for me without it)
- Improved brightness levels handling:
- PinePhone 1.0 uses default levels generated by the driver
- On PinePhone 1.1 duty cycles < 20% lead to black screen, so
default levels can't be used. Martijn Braam came up with a
list of duty cycle values that lead to perception of linear
brigtness level <-> light intensity on PinePhone 1.1
- There was some feedback on v2 about this being similar to st7701.
It's only similar in name. Most of the "user commands" are different,
so I opted to keep this in a new driver instead of creating st770x.

Anyone who likes to check the differences, here are datasheets:

- https://megous.com/dl/tmp/ST7703_DS_v01_20160128.pdf
- https://megous.com/dl/tmp/ST7701.pdf

Changes in v2:
- DT Example fix.
- DT Format fix.
- Raised copyright info to 2020.
- Sort panel operation functions.
- Sort inclusion.


-- For phone owners: --

There's an open question on how to set the backlight brightness values
on post 1.0 revision phone, since lower duty cycles (< 10-20%) lead
to backlight being black. It would be nice if more people can test
the various backlight levels on 1.1 and 1.2 revision with this change
in dts:

brightness-levels = <0 1000>;
num-interpolated-steps = <1000>;

and report at what brightness level the backlight turns on. So far it
seems this has a wide range. Lowest useable duty cycle for me is ~7%
on 1.2 and for Martijn ~20% on 1.1.
