Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the patch!

I think the name "Truly NT35521" is a bit too generic. AFAIK "Truly" is
a panel vendor and the NovaTek NT35521 is the panel controller. But
there are almost certainly other Truly panels that were also combined
with a NT35521 but need a slightly different configuration.

If you don't know more than "Truly NT35521" based on the Sony sources,
maybe do it similar to "asus,z00t-tm5p5-n35596" and use a compatible
like "sony,<device>-truly-nt35521". Would be good to clarify the Kconfig
option here too.

Did you mix up "nt_dcs_write" and "nt_gen_write" here?
The nt_gen_write(0x11, 0x00); looks like MIPI_DCS_EXIT_SLEEP_MODE
and the nt_gen_write(0x29, 0x00); looks like MIPI_DCS_SET_DISPLAY_ON.

For reference you can pull your original reference DTB from Sony through
my panel driver generator: https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/linux-mdss-dsi-panel-driver-generator

It produces the following (I compiled "msm8939-kanuti_tulip.dtb"
from https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/kernel/tree/aosp/LA.BR.1.3.3_rb2.14,
not sure if that is right):

	// ...
	dsi_generic_write_seq(dsi, 0x35, 0x00);

	ret = mipi_dsi_dcs_exit_sleep_mode(dsi);
	if (ret < 0) {
		dev_err(dev, "Failed to exit sleep mode: %d\n", ret);
		return ret;
	}
	msleep(120);

	ret = mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_on(dsi);
	if (ret < 0) {
		dev_err(dev, "Failed to set display on: %d\n", ret);
		return ret;
	}
	usleep_range(1000, 2000);

	dsi_generic_write_seq(dsi, 0x53, 0x24);

Which also suggests that generic and DCS writes are mixed up here.

Note however that you could not use the generated driver as-is,
because Sony seems to use their own display driver instead of Qualcomm's
and some things seem to be different.

A bit more deobfuscated from the panel driver generator:

	dsi->mode_flags &= ~MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM;

	ret = mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_off(dsi);
	if (ret < 0) {
		dev_err(dev, "Failed to set display off: %d\n", ret);
		return ret;
	}
	msleep(50);

	ret = mipi_dsi_dcs_enter_sleep_mode(dsi);
	if (ret < 0) {
		dev_err(dev, "Failed to enter sleep mode: %d\n", ret);
		return ret;
	}
	msleep(150);

(I'm mainly referring to the mipi_dsi_dcs_*() here instead of the
 magic numbers...)

	u8 brightness = backlight_get_brightness(bl);

Is preferred now I think(?).

Does this work too?

	ret = mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_brightness(dsi, brightness);

These two GPIOs look a lot like typical 5V display regulators that would
be better described through the regulator subsystem. You can declare
them as fixed-regulator to toggle the GPIO.

Does this refer to the "platform-bklight-en-gpio" in the Sony sources?
Perhaps calling it "backlight-gpios" or something like that would be
more clear to show that it's related to the backlight.

Thanks!
