DPU 5.x+ supports a databus widen mode that allows more data to be sent

This doesn't work.  DPU 5.0.0 is SM8150, which has DSI 6G 2.3. In the
last patch for DSI you state and enable widebus for DSI 6G 2.5+ only,
meaning DPU and DSI are now desynced, and the output is completely
corrupted.


I looked at the internal docs and also this change. This change is incorrect because this will try to enable widebus for DPU >= 5.0 and DSI  >= 2.5

That was not the intended right condition as thats not what the docs say.

We should enable for DPU >= 7.0 and DSI >= 2.5

Is there any combination where this compatibility is broken? That would be the strange thing for me ( not DPU 5.0 and DSI 2.5 as that was incorrect)

Part of this confusion is because of catalog macro re-use again.

This series is a good candidate and infact I think we should only do core_revision based check on DPU and DSI to avoid bringing the catalog mess into this.

I have just a single request here: can we please have the same approach for both DSI and DP? I don't mind changing DP code if it makes it better. If you don't have better reasons, I like the idea of DSI/DP dictating whether wide bus should be used on the particular interface. It allows us to handle possible errata or corner cases there. Another option would be to make DPU tell DSI / DP whether the wide bus is enabled or not, but I'd say, this is slightly worse solution.


Today, DP's widebus does not check if DPU supports that or not.

DPU encoder queries the DP whether widebus is available and enables it.

We can also do the same thing for DSI.

So for intf_type of DSI, DPU encoder will query DSI if it supports widebus.

Not if it supports wide bus. But the check is whether enabling wide bus is requested by the output driver (DSI/DP).

Hi Dmitry,

Can you explain what you mean by "requested by output driver"? FWIW, if the DSI version supports wide bus && if DSC is enabled, then wide bus will be enabled in DSI.

Thanks,

Jessica Zhang



Then DSI will do its version checks and for DSC it will say yes.

This way, we will never check for the DPU's core revision for DSI and purely rely of DP/DSI's hw revisions.

Thats fine with me because that way we again just rely on the hw revision to enable the feature.

But as a result I am still going to drop this patch which adds widebus to the catalog as a dpu cap which I always wanted to do anyway as we will just rely on the DSI and DP hw revisions.

Yep.



Tested this on SM8350 which actually has DSI 2.5, and it is also
corrupted with this series so something else on this series might be
broken.


Missed this response. That seems strange.

This series was tested on SM8350 HDK with a command mode panel.

We will fix the DPU-DSI handshake and post a v2 but your issue needs investigation in parallel.

So another bug to track that would be great.

Is the bound in dsi_host wrong, or do DPU and DSI need to communicate
when widebus will be enabled, based on DPU && DSI supporting it?

I'd prefer to follow the second approach, as we did for DP. DPU asks the
actual video output driver if widebus is to be enabled.


I was afraid of this. This series was made on an assumption that the DPU version of widebus and DSI version of widebus would be compatible but looks like already SM8150 is an outlier.

Yes, I think we have to go with second approach.

DPU queries DSI if it supports widebus and enables it.

Thanks for your responses. We will post a v2.

Doesn't it seem very strange that DPU 5.x+ comes with a widebus feature,
but the DSI does not until two revisions later?  Or is this available on
every interface, but only for a different (probably DP) encoder block?


Yes its strange.


I have clarified this above. Its not strange but appeared strange because we were checking wrong conditions.
