[PATCH v4] OMAP3: DSS: Kconfig changes to enable display options on OMAP3

[PATCH v4] OMAP3: DSS: Kconfig changes to enable display options on OMAP3

[Samreen]

The defconfig options for display are taken in the respective Kconfig
to enable display by default on OMAP3 platforms

Signed-off-by: Samreen <samreen@ti.com>
---
 Version4:
       Remove the enabling of the display panels by default.

 Version3:
       Eliminate the separate default number of FBs for
 different architecture. Keeping default FBs as 3 as before.

 Version2:
        Enables by default NEC panel used in zoom2/3/3630sdp, instead of 
 Sharp LQ043T1DG01 panel enabled in previous version of this patch.

I'm not sure if enabling kernel options by default is a good thing.
Somehow I remember that enabling things by default is not looked kindly
at. Shouldn't they be enabled in the arch/arm/configs config file, if
they are wanted?

Tony, do you have opinnion on this? Should DSS features be enabled by
default in the Kconfig files, or only in the board config file?

Also, see one comment inline.

I think having default ratio of 4 would mean that for example high res
modes wouldn't work on beagle. They require high pixel clock, which
requires 1/2 pck/lck ratio.

The best thing would be to have DSS y if ARCH_OMAP2PLUS or similar,
then have all the features built in and pass the configuration options
in platform_data. That still allows disabling certain features with
Kconfig if needed for memory consumption etc. But the omap2plus_defconfig
should "just work" on all the boards.

Personally, I'd much rather see DSS core and optional features default
to being built as a module.

Other than a splash screen, there's no reason DSS is needed for a
minimal boot.

Sure a module would be even better. My point is that the selection of
all the features should be enabled by default and the board options come
from platform_data.

Ok, let's build DSS & all panel drivers as modules by default.

Somehow I've gotten the impression from linux ml that enabling features
by default is bad. But perhaps it's more about intervening features than
normal drivers.

Samreen, will you change the patch to set DSS & panel drivers to be
built as modules by default? Optimally all display interfaces should be
enabled, but I believe at least SDI and DSI are currently slightly
broken, because they prevent DSS from initializing if SDI/DSI regulator
is not defined in the board file. So perhaps we should start with only
DPI and VENC enabled (plus all the DPI panels).

Also, this patch could be based on top of Bryan Wu's new generic panel
patch set, which I'll perhaps apply today to my tree if I find no more
to comment about.

The general rule is to avoid default enabling unless you really need it,
but it still remains optional (which is why it's not being selected,
instead). Some, like gpiolib, have come up with WANT/NEED options for the
platform code to select in order to work out the desired behaviour, and
you may benefit from a similar approach for your subsystem if it's really
that integral for some parts.

The flip side of course is that if you expect your users to primarily be
using the defconfigs provided, you can simply leave it default disabled
in the Kconfig and set the options you want in the defconfigs.

Unless you can say with certainty that all OMAP3 boards are going to want
DSS enabled or modular by default, it's almost always better to just
leave it up to the defconfigs.

I wish we could just do "default m if ARCH_OMAP2PLUS_TYPICAL"..
But meanwhile setting it as a module in omap2plus_defconfig does
the trick though like you say.

But meanwhile setting it as a module in omap2plus_defconfig does

Something like this should be quite doable if the Kconfig fragments work
is ever completed. If this is something that interests you you may wish
to give it a bit of a nudge :-)

Yeah maybe eventually at some point.. Got several merge cycles of
other things to fix.. And the defconfig can be used for now :)
