[PATCH v4 0/6] drm/ssd130x: Add support for the Solomon SSD1351 OLED controller

From: Amit Barzilai

Date: Tue Aug 18 2026 - 04:07:39 EST


This series adds support for the Solomon SSD1351, a 128x128 65k-color
RGB OLED controller, to the ssd130x DRM driver:

- Patch 1 adds the device tree binding.

- Patch 2 switches the SSD133X family from RGB332 to RGB565, bringing
65k color to the SSD1331.

- Patches 3 to 5 are preparatory cleanups requested on v3 [1]: constify
the ssd130x_write_data() 'values' parameter, convert
ssd130x_spi_id[] to C99 initializers, and reimplement
ssd130x_write_cmd() as a variadic wrapper around
ssd130x_write_cmds() so a single loop remains.

- Patch 6 adds the SSD1351 as a new SSD135X_FAMILY. It gets its own
primary plane update/disable, encoder enable and backlight
callbacks; only the callbacks with no family-specific logic
(ssd133x_primary_plane_atomic_check(), ssd133x_crtc_atomic_check()
and ssd130x_encoder_atomic_disable()) are reused as is.

Testing:

- Patches 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are tested on an SSD1351.
- The SSD1331 RGB565 change (patch 2) was kindly tested by Javier on
his SSD1331.

Based on drm-misc-next, as requested on v3, now that the ssd132x/ssd133x
column and row end address fixes have landed there.

Thanks to Javier, Andy, Krzysztof and Fabio for the reviews.

Changes since v3:
- Rebase on drm-misc-next (per Javier). The v3 dependency on the
ssd133x update_rect end-address fix is gone, it is upstream now.
- Split the ssd130x_write_data() constification into its own
preparatory patch (per Javier), patch 3.
- Split the ssd130x_write_cmd()/ssd130x_write_cmds() unification into
its own preparatory patch (per Javier), patch 5. It is a pure
refactor: the bytes sent and the bus transactions used to send them
are unchanged for every chip on both transports.
- New patch 4: convert ssd130x_spi_id[] to C99 initializers (per Andy).
- Patch 6: give the SSD135X family its own .atomic_update,
.atomic_disable, encoder .atomic_enable and backlight callbacks
instead of branching on the family inside the ssd133x ones, and drop
the shared ssd133x_write_pixels() helper (per Javier).
- Patch 6: the SSD1351 command parameter path is now driven by a
cmd_params_are_data flag in struct ssd130x_deviceinfo rather than a
hardcoded family_id check (per Javier). It stays in ssd130x_write_cmds()
instead of moving to ssd130x-spi.c as originally agreed; see [2] for
the reasoning. In short, SSD13XX_COMMAND is the I2C control byte 0x80,
whose Co=1 bit promises exactly one payload byte, so routing command
buffers through regmap_raw_write() would have changed I2C command
framing for every existing chip. Keeping the split in the core also
avoids duplicating it in ssd130x-i2c.c if an I2C part ever needs it.
Fabio reports the SSD1322 needs the same flag and plans to send
SSD1322 support on top of this series.
- Patch 6: the SSD135X family now registers a backlight device like the
other families, using ssd135x_set_contrast(). v3 skipped backlight
registration for the family because SSD13XX_CONTRAST (0x81) does not
exist on the SSD1351; the per-family backlight rework that landed
upstream in the meantime made a per-family callback the natural fit.
The SSD1351 takes all three color channels as parameters of a single
command (0xc1), which ssd135x_set_contrast() handles.
- Patch 6: drop the post-reset delay comment in ssd130x_reset() (per
Javier), it documented a mistake rather than the code.
- Collect Reviewed-by tags on patches 1, 2 and 3.
