The AM625 DSS peripheral supports 2 OLDI TXes which can work to enable 2
duplicated displays of smaller resolutions or enable a single Dual-Link
display with a higher resolution (1920x1200).

Configure the necessary register to enable the different modes.

This feels a bit hacky:

- The function is dispc_enable_oldi, but the above code also disables oldi. We have code in dispc_vp_unprepare() which disables OLDI at the moment.

- The function takes hw_videoport as a parameter, and is designed to work on that videoport. The above operates on two videoports. Isn't the function also called for hw_videoport +1, which would result in reg writes to hw_videoport + 2?

- No matching code in dispc_vp_unprepare

Obviously the duplicate mode (I presume that's "cloning") and the dual link complicate things here, and I have to say I haven't worked with such setups. But I think somehow this should be restructured so that common configuration (common to the OLDIs) is done somewhere else.

I would guess that there are other drivers that support cloning and dual mode. Did you have a look how they handle things?

Oh, I see now... There's just one dss video port for OLDI, the same as in am65x, but that single video port is now connected to two OLDI TXes. And thus this function will only be called for the single video port.
> But... The registers for the second OLDI are part of the second video
port (DPI) register block?

Yes! The config register for the second OLDI TX has been (incorrectly)
added in the register space for the DPI video port. 'dispc_vp_prepare'
is the only function calling 'dispc_enable_oldi', and
'dispc_enable_oldi' would not be called for hw_videoports = 1 (DPI)
because of the conditional check.

Hence, to activate both the OLDI-TXes connected to the OLDI video port,
I had to use the (hw_videoport + 1) way.

I think this should be highlighted in the comment more clearly. Also, I don't think hw_videoport + 1 usage is good. While in this case the registers are in vp + 1, it's, in a way, a coincidence.

Instead, have a new variable for the VP register block which contains the OLDI TX 1 registers, and just set that to 1 with a comment clarifying that the registers for OLDI 1 are in VP1 register block, even if OLDI 1 is connected to VP0.

And then use that variable when calling dispc_vp_write().
