[v1 0/3] drm: Add support for backlight control of eDP panel on ti-sn65dsi86 bridge

[v1 0/3] drm: Add support for backlight control of eDP panel on ti-sn65dsi86 bridge

[Rajeev Nandan]

The backlight level of an eDP panel can be controlled through the AUX
channel using DPCD registers of the panel.

The capability for the Source device to adjust backlight characteristics
within the panel, using the Sink device DPCD registers is indicated by
the TCON_BACKLIGHT_ADJUSTMENT_CAPABLE bit in the EDP_GENERAL_CAPABILITY_1
register (DPCD Address 701h, bit0). In this configuration, the eDP TCON
receives the backlight level information from the host, through the AUX
channel.

The changes in this patch series do the following:
- Add drm_dp_aux_backlight_ APIs to support backlight control using DPCD
  registers on the DisplayPort AUX channel.
  The current version only supports backlight brightness control by the
  EDP_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS_MSB/LSB registers (DPCD Addresses 722h-723h).
- Add support for backlight control of the eDP panel connected to the
  ti-sn65dsi86 bridge.

[v1 2/3] dt-bindings: drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Document use-aux-backlight

[Rajeev Nandan]

If the panel connected to the bridge supports backlight control
using DPCD registers on the DisplayPort aux channel, setting
"use-aux-backlight" property in the bridge node will enable the
registration of a DP aux backlight device from the bridge driver.

Sounds like a property of the panel, not the bridge. So it should be in 
the panel node.

So I haven't looked in massive detail at this patch series, but the
fact that it's touching "ti-sn65dsi86.c" is a red flag. I know in
out-of-band communications you said you weren't sure how to do better.
...but, perhaps, if folks don't hate my recent series [1] there may be
a way forward.

I wonder if perhaps now that the AUX channel can be registered early
if it gets around the circular dependency problems and now you can put
your code in some combination of the panel code and (maybe?) a new
backlight driver if it's generic enough.

It's possible that you might need to add some code to be able to look
up a "struct drm_dp_aux *" from a device tree node and you might need
to add a new device tree property like "ddc-aux-bus" in order to do
this, but I don't _think_ that would be controversial?

i915 has had this capability for some years now, and work is in progress
to extract the DP AUX backlight code to drm core as helpers [1]. There's
much more to it than what's proposed here. Adding incompatible DP AUX
code at this point would be a pretty bad outcome.

For example, we can't tie backlight device register to DP AUX backlight,
because there are modes where *both* the eDP PWM pin based backlight
control and DP AUX backlight control are used *simultaneously*. The
backlight device register needs to be in code that is aware of both.

Granted, it was a mistake way back when to add this in i915 only, and it
should've been lifted to drm much earlier. It would've been done by
Lyude by now, but people were not happy about not using drm device based
logging. And that has unfortunately lead to a pretty massive prep series
[2].

Please look into the code added to drm helpers in [1], and see how that
would work for you.
