[PATCH v4 0/5] Add DRM FIMD DT support for Exynos4 DT Machines

[PATCH v4 0/5] Add DRM FIMD DT support for Exynos4 DT Machines

[Vikas Sajjan]

This patch series adds support for DRM FIMD DT for Exynos4 DT Machines,
specifically for Exynos4412 SoC.

changes since v3:
	- rebased on
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/for-next-next

changes since v2:
	- added alias to 'fimd@11c00000' node
		(reported by: Rahul Sharma <r.sh.open@gmail.com>)
	- removed 'lcd0_data' node as there was already a similar node lcd_data24
		(reported by: Jingoo Han <jg1.han@samsung.com>
	- replaced spaces with tabs in display-timing node

changes since v1:
	- added new patch to add FIMD DT binding Documentation
	- removed patch enabling SAMSUNG_DEV_BACKLIGHT and SAMSUNG_DEV_PMW 
	for mach-exynos4 DT
	- added 'status' property to fimd DT node

Is based on branch "for-next-next"

What about older SoCs like S5Pv210 ? There is the FIMD IP block in those SoCs
as well. There are also differences in the FIMD IP block across various SoC 
version, so either you need to list the quirks in the bindings or use an
appropriate compatible properties if there are significant differences across 
FIMDs that make them not really compatible.

These are actually 3 interrupts. Can you please document what they are
and in what order should be listed in the interrupts property ?

I don't think this standard property needs to be documented here.

Why this order exactly ? Because currently the driver expects VSYNC 
interrupt specifier in the first entry and it won't work when you put
any other interrupt specifier there ?

The interrupts order really needs to be specified above, otherwise
you need to look at the bindings implementation in the driver to
figure out why it didn't work when you put the interrupt in different
order... see confused and angry faces of developers ? ... :)

If I'm not mistaken we have "Video Frame" (VSYNC), "I80 Interface" 
and "FIFO Level" interrupts here.

as of now, I was working on Exynos4 and Exynos5 SoC. have to really
see the differences in the previous SoC and how to handle all those
FIMD IPs in the driver.
if you know the differences between these FIMD IPs, please let me know.

we have 3 interrupts and the Interrupt combiner order is FIFO Level ,
VSYNC  and LCD_SYSTEM.
since we only use VSYNC interrupt , In the driver to get the interrupt number

res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0);
         if (!res) {
                 dev_err(dev, "irq request failed.\n");
                 return -ENXIO;
          }

 ctx->irq = res->start;

 I am passing the 3rd parameter as '0' , to get the VSYNC interrupt,
and hence in the DTSI file     i have it in the order  VSYNC,  FIFO
LEVEL and LCD_SYSTEM.

what I can do is the pass the 3rd parameter as '1' , and rectify the
order in DTSI file as  FIFO LEVEL, VSYNC and LCD_SYSTEM.

Wouldn't Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/exynos-fimd.txt be more
appropriate location for this file ? There is also framebuffer driver for
FIMD. Even if the framebuffer driver gets phased out it still feels like
a more intuitive location for a display controller bindings.
This is just my humble suggestion though.

I think you should CC the device tree mailing list and the maintainers.

Please have a look at drivers/video/s3c-fb.c and all driver_data structures
defined for various SoCs.

Yes, I'm aware what's going on here. Since I had to change the interrupts
order when I used one of the first version of patches adding device tree
support for FIMD, when I needed working display to test the camera.

Then you would have to do it only for dt case. I guess it is okay to
require VSYNC as the first interrupt. I'm fine with that, as long as
it is properly documented.

I went through the driver_data structures define for s5p64x0,s3c2443,
s5pv210, s5pc100 ad 64xx SoCs.
there are some differences w.r.t number of windows, osd_stride  length
and regsiter offsets.
but  I dont have access to all the above mentioned Boards and so that

as far as i know this file exynos_drm_fimd.c is meant only for exynos4
onwards SoCs,
( I think Mr. Inki Dae can throw more light on this )
and also the previous  boards based on  s5p64x0,s3c2443,s5pv210,
s5pc100 and 64xx, dont have DT support.
also in the function drm_fimd_get_driver_data(), there is provision to
get the NON-DT "driver data" as well. So somebody who wants to use
this driver for the above mentioned SoCs can add the driver-data.

so wanted to know how you want me to go about it.

Perhaps something like:

Exynos SoC display controller (FIMD)

would do ? Even though bindings are to be used by some driver we should
be focusing on describing the actual hardware.

I don't ask you to add support for all existing FIMD variants. Please just
make sure the bindings you're documenting here, with focus on the Exynos
SoCs, are also usable for older SoC series.

> as far as i know this file exynos_drm_fimd.c is meant only for exynos4
> onwards SoCs,

Yes, but the bindings are for FIMD IP block and should possibly be 
consistent
across all SoC series. I think we should bear in mind that eventually all
these SoCs get device tree support. Actually I've seen already patches for
s3c24xx and s3c64xx SoC series.

We can't tell for sure the SoC series listed above won't get device tree
support sooner or later, as this is an open source project.

I'm not concerned about this particular driver, only about the DT bindings
that are not supposed to change over time. So some care needs to be taken
when designing the bindings.

> so wanted to know how you want me to go about it.

My concern was that you use "samsung,exynos4-fimd" for FIMD IP found on all
Exynos4 SoC, whereas there could be some differences for Exynos4210 and
Exynos4212/4412. It looks like both are shipped with FIMD rev. 6.0 though.
Anyway, still there are some details that may need to be handled, e.g. 
maximum
VCLK frequency is 80 MHz for Exynos4210 FIMD0 and Exynos4412 FIMD (there is
only one there in Exynos4412 as opposed to two in Exynos4210), while for
Exynos4210 FIMD1 it is only 50 MHz. When there are differences we really
care about (and support for FIMD1 is added) I guess things like this could
be handled through optional properties.

I thought about something like:

compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-fimd"; for Exynos4210 and
compatible = "samsung,exynos4212-fimd", "samsung,exynos4210-fimd"; for
               Exynos4212 and Exynos412,

but "samsung,exynos4-fimd" seems good enough, since the FIMD IP block
appears nearly identical across Exynos4210...Exynos4412.

ok thanks. Will modify the documentation as below.

compatible = "samsung, exynos4-fimd"; for Exynos4 SoCs
compatible = "samsung, exynos5-fimd" ; for Exynos5 SoCs
compatible = "samsung, s3c64xx-fimd" ; for S3C64XX SoCs
compatible = "samsung, s3c24xx-fimd" ; for S3C24XX SoCs
compatible = "samsung, s5p64x0-fimd" ; for S5P64X0 SoCs
compatible = "samsung, s5pc100-fimd" ; for S5PC100 SoCs
compatible = "samsung, s5pv210-fimd" ; for S5PV210 SoCs

There should be no wildcards in the compatible property. I guess we can
just add the two first one above for now and leave other out for when
someone actually adds support for these SoCs at the drivers.

I suppose we could,  for example, have something like:

compatible = "samsung,s3c2410-fimd";                         // for s3c2410
compatible = "samsung,s3c2440-fimd", "samsung,s3c2410-fimd"; // for s3c2440

etc. But this really needs to be checked with the documentation
in each case.

We should stick to the rule that compatible value should be named after 
first specific SoC model in which this particular IP version was included.

So this is what I would suggest:

compatible = "samsung,s3c2443-fimd"; // for S3C24XX SoCs
compatible = "samsung,s3c6400-fimd"; // for S3C64XX SoCs
compatible = "samsung,s5p6440-fimd"; // for S5P64X0 SoCs
compatible = "samsung,s5pc100-fimd"; // for S5PC100 SoC
compatible = "samsung,s5pv210-fimd"; // for S5PV210 SoC
compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-fimd"; // for Exynos4 SoCs
compatible = "samsung,exynos5250-fimd"; // for Exynos5 SoCs

(All the hardware variants are taken from s3c-fb driver.)

Best regards,
Tomasz

Yes, that looks good to me. I'm just not sure though if there is
any reference to "fimd" in the s3c2443 SoC documentation. Or
is it simply called lcd controller there ?

This is probably true, as even the name suggests that this is a DRM 
implementation for Exynos SoCs.

However DRM is not the only driver which can handle FIMD. There is also 
the s3c-fb driver. Since it supports the same hardware, it is also 
affected by Device Tree bindings you are describing in this patch.

This is true only at the moment. S3C24xx (Heiko Stuebner is working on it) 
and S3C64xx (I'm working on it) are on good way to have DT support soon. 
Other S5P SoCs will have to be eventually moved to DT too (or dropped, 
whatever gets decided by maintainers).
