[PATCH v2] drm/panel: simple: Support reset GPIOs

[PATCH v2] drm/panel: simple: Support reset GPIOs

[Miquel Raynal]

The panel common bindings provide a gpios-reset property. Let's
support it in the simple driver.

Two fields are added to the panel description structure: the time to
assert the reset and the time to wait right after before starting to
interact with it in any manner. In case these default values are not
filled but the GPIO is present in the DT, default values are applied.

Signed-off-by: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@bootlin.com>
---

Changes since v1:
* Add two parameters in the panel description structure.
* Ensure the reset is asserted the right amount of time and the
  deasserted before continuing if a reset GPIO is given.

Wehn we discussed this the last time you wrote:

"""

While there is a simple "RGB to LVDS" bridge driver, there is none
doing the work the other way around. In my case, the bridge has a reset

Based on the information provided it seems that the correct way is to
add a "LVDS to RGB bridge" and then let the bridge handle the reset
functionality.

It is obviously much more code to do it this way but then
other panels using the same type of brigde have the
same functionality without adding bridge functionality to the panel.

This, I do not fully agree as bindings for the panel reset already
exist and we could have a reset on both: the bridge and the panel.
I choose to use a wrong (private) DT representation because I am not
willing to add an LVDS->RGB bridge: as you say, it is much more work to
do. But, IMHO, this is not related to the patch. If you consider this
patch wrong because a panel cannot have a reset, then it should be
stated clearly and maybe removed from the bindings?

Anyway if you think this change can't be useful, let's put it aside.

Thanks for your time,
Miquèl

Hi Sam,

you've asked in another thread [1] if there is any known simple panel
that requires a reset. We have a Densitron DMT070WSNLCMI-1E Panel
(compatible to avic,tm070ddh03) with some reset timing requirements, [2]
Page 20. So it would be nice to see this patch accepted.
