Re: [PATCH v3 6/6] drm/ingenic: Attach bridge chain to encoders

From: Paul Cercueil
Date: Sat Sep 25 2021 - 15:08:58 EST

Hi Paul & Nikolaus,

If you spent some time debugging the issue instead of complaining that my patchset breaks things...

The fix is a one-liner in your downstream ingenic-dw-hdmi.c:
.output_port = 1
in the ingenic_dw_hdmi_plat_data struct.

Absolutely nothing else needs to be changed for HDMI to work here.

Cheers,
-Paul

The bridge's type is set in hdmi-connector, from DTS. The 'type = "a"'
will result in the bridge's .type to be set to DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_HDMIA.

Actually, I found that hdmi-connector might not have been available because
CONFIG_DRM_DISPLAY_CONNECTOR was not enabled. Rectifying this, the connector
does get detected and enabled. However, the Synopsys driver remains unaware of
it, and so the bridge type in the Synopsys driver remains unset.

I do see that the connector sets the type on a bridge in its own private
structure, so there would be a need to propagate this type to the actual
bridge. In other words, what the connector does is distinct from the Synopsys
driver which acts as the bridge with regard to the Ingenic driver.

Perhaps the Synopsys driver should set the connector's bridge as the next
bridge, or maybe something is supposed to discover that the connector may act
as (or provide) a bridge after the Synopsys driver in the chain and then back-
propagate the bridge type along the chain.

Interestingly, with the connector driver present, these sysfs entries no
longer appear.

Could you paste the result of "modetest -a -c -p" somewhere maybe?

I had to specify -M ingenic-drm as well, but here you go...

If you have info about the CRTCs, encoders, connectors and EDID info,
then I would assume it is very close to working fine.

For your "no framebuffer" issue, keep in mind that CONFIG_FB and
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE are now disabled by default.

Yes, I discovered that CONFIG_FB was not enabled, so I did so.

If that doesn't fix anything, that probably means that one
.atomic_check() fails, so it would be a good place to start debugging.

There will be other things to verify in the Ingenic driver. As noted many
months ago, colour depth information has to be set in the DMA descriptors and
not the control register, but we are managing to do this successfully, as far
as I can tell, although there is always the potential for error.
