[PATCH v1 2/4] drm: mxsfb: Allow optional LCDIF interface format override
From: Francesco Dolcini
Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 08:23:36 EST
From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@xxxxxxxxxxx>
LCDIF programs LCD_DATABUS_WIDTH from the selected media bus format. The
format reported by the downstream panel or bridge describes the display
input, but it does not describe how the LCDIF data pins are physically
wired on the board.
These can differ. For example, a 16-bit LCDIF bus can be connected to a
24-bit display by wiring the available color bits to the corresponding
display inputs. In that case, using the display's 24-bit format to
configure LCDIF selects the wrong data-bus mode and changes the assignment
of color bits on the LCD_DATA pins.
Read the optional interface-pix-fmt property from the LCDIF node and use
it to select the media bus format used to configure LCDIF. This allows
the LCDIF bus mode to describe the physical interface independently of
the downstream display format.
When the optional property is absent, continue using the format reported
by the downstream display device, preserving the existing behavior.
This follows the same approach already implemented in
drivers/gpu/drm/imx/ipuv3/parallel-display.c.
