The HDMI TX block in the RK3568 requires two power supplies, which have
to be enabled in some cases (at least on the RK3568 EVB1 the voltages
VDDA0V9_IMAGE and VCCA1V8_IMAGE are disabled by default). It would be
great if this was considered by the driver and the device tree binding.
I am not sure, though, whether this is a RK3568 specific or
rockchip_dw_hdmi specific thing. Maybe it can even enter the Synopsis DW
HDMI driver.
I do remember that this discussion happened many years back already.
And yes the supplies are needed for all but back then there was opposition
as these are supposedly phy-related supplies, not for the dw-hdmi itself.
[There are variants with an external phy, like on the rk3328]

Thanks for the pointer. My summary of this discussion would be the
following:
- There was no consensus on how to handle the issue. The voltages still
have to be enabled from the outside of the driver.
- Open question: rockchip-specific or general solution? (one may detect
a tendency towards a rockchip-specific solution)
- Open question: separation of the phy from the dw_hdmi IP core?
First of all, IMHO the driver should enable those voltages, otherwise we
will have the same discussion again in 5-6 years :-)
Then, the rockchip,dw-hdmi binding features a property "phys",
presumably to handle external phys (e.g., for the RK3328). This fact and
the referenced discussion suggest a rockchip-specific solution.
FWIW I've long thought that cleaning up the phy situation in dw-hdmi
would be a good idea. It's always seemed a bit sketchy that on RK3328 we
still validate modes against the tables for the Synopsys phy which isn't
relevant, and if that does allow a clock rate through that the actual
phy rejects then things just go horribly wrong and the display breaks.
In the Rockchip documentation (at least for RK3328, RK3399 and RK3568),
there are two extra voltages denoted as "HDMI PHY analog power". It
would be tempting to add the internal phy to the device tree and glue it
to the dw-hdmi using the "phys" property. However, as pointed out in the
referenced discussion, the configuration registers of the phy are
somewhat interleaved with the dw-hdmi registers and a clear separation
may be tricky.
Conceptually I don't think there's any issue with the HDMI node being
its own phy provider where appropriate. At the DT level it should simply
be a case of having both sets of properties, e.g.:
&hdmi {
#phy-cells = <0>;
phys = <&hdmi>;
};
And at the driver level AFAICS it's pretty much just a case of dw-hdmi
additionally registering itself as a phy provider if the internal phy is
present - the only difference then should be that it can end up calling
back into itself via the common phy API rather than directly via
internal special-cases.
Robin.
As a more pragmatic alternative, we could add optional supplies to the
rockchip,dw-hdmi binding and evaluate the "phys" property. If the latter
is not specified, the internal phy is used and the supplies must be
enabled. Would such an approach be acceptable?
Best regards,
Michael

This version of HDMI hardware block needs two new clocks hclk_vio and hclk

The description and documentation of the clocks are somewhat misleading
IMHO. This is not caused by your patches, of course. But maybe this is a
chance to clean them up a bit.
It seems that the CEC clock is an optional clock of the dw-hdmi driver.
Shouldn't it be documented in the synopsys,dw-hdmi.yaml?
Also, it would be nice if the clocks hclk_vio and hclk featured a
description in the binding.
BTW, I am not too familiar with the syntax here, but shouldn't items in
clocks and items in clock-names be aligned (currently, there is a plain
list vs. an enum structure)?
Best regards,
Michael
