[PATCH v2 0/3] drm/panel-edp: Debugfs for panel-edp

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Fri Feb 04 2022 - 19:14:15 EST


The main goal of this series is the final patch in the series: to
allow test code to reliably find out if we ended up hitting the
"fallback" case of the generic edp-panel driver where we don't
recognize a panel and choose to use super conservative timing.

Version 1 of the patch actually landed but was quickly reverted since
it was pointed out that it should have been done in debugfs, not
sysfs.

As discussed on IRC [1], we want this support to be under the
"connector" directory of debugfs but there was no existing way to do
that. Thus patch #2 in the series was born to try to plumb this
through. It was asserted that it would be OK to rely on a fairly
modern display pipeline for this plumbing and perhaps fail to populate
the debugfs file if we're using older/deprecated pipelines.

Patch #1 in the series was born because the bridge chip I was using
was still using an older/deprecated pipeline. While this doesn't get
us fully to a modern pipeline for ti-sn65dsi86 (it still doesn't move
to "NO_CONNECTOR") it hopefully moves us in the right direction.

This was tested on sc7180-trogdor devices with _both_ the ti-sn65dsi86
and the parade-ps8640 bridge chips (since some devices have one, some
the other). The parade-ps8640 already uses supports "NO_CONNECTOR",
luckily.
