[PATCH 0/5] Fix A64 HDMI PHY device tree binding

[PATCH 0/5] Fix A64 HDMI PHY device tree binding

[Icenowy Zheng]

When adding support for A64 HDMI PHY in 4.19, we assumed that the two
PLL-VIDEOs can both feed the HDMI PHY clock. However experiments show
that the mux bit discovered in R40 blob is not applicable on A64. This
is not discovered, as normally with a single display pipeline only
PLL-VIDEO0 will be used.

In this patchset the second PLL is dropped, and a binding specially for
R40 HDMI PHY is added (which seems to have the mux).

PATCH 1 and 2 are dropping second PLL for A64 HDMI PHY, and PATCH 3 to 5
are adding R40 HDMI PHY binding.

This patchset targets v4.19 fixes tree, because the binding is
introduced in v4.19, and if we don't fix it there a wrong binding will
be left in a stable version released.

[PATCH 1/5] dt-bindings: sun4i-drm: drop second PLL from A64 HDMI PHY binding

[Icenowy Zheng]

By experiments it seems that the A64 HDMI PHY is not able to use the
second video PLL as the clock parent.

Drop pll-1 from the device tree binding of A64 HDMI PHY.

Please add fixes tags.

The patches look good, though I'm not sure about patches 3 and 4 going in fixes.

You shouldn't need to do this. The DT is about the hardware. The fact
that we haven't figured out how to use it is quite irrelevant, and can
change in the future, unlike this binding.

If you could use the A64 phy before, you can still use it now.

Not exactly. Given that we don't know how to switch between HDMI PHY clock 
parents on A64 (if it is actually connected at all, there is no information 
about that in manual and AW didn't answered our questions, despite asking them 
through different channels), A64 compatible will be associated with quirk, 
which will tell that only one clock parent is usable.

However, R40 HDMI PHY has definetly two clock parents, as it was tested by me 
and Icenowy and we know how to switch between them without issues. 
Technically, we could have A64 compatible there, but that would mean only 
single PHY parent is considered instead of two.

Jernej

The DT change above would mean that you can't operate the R40 phy in
the same way than the A64's. From what you're telling me now, this
isn't exactly what is going on: you can operate the R40 phy just like
the A64: with a single PLL instead of two. You operate in a degraded
and non-optimal mode, but it still works.

And it's exactly what the DT is already saying.

The status of R40 HDMI PHY input mux is not determined when use A64
driver, which makes it not working when the bootloader initializes it
to use the second PLL (the A64 driver will assume the parent is the
first PLL).

I suppose it's a slightly different semantic. While we have no definite
data regarding the A64, there are some possibilities:

  1. The muxing mechanism isn't present on the A64, and the HDMI PHY
     only takes one clock.

  2. The muxing is present, but only the first parent is connected.
     Switching to the second input causes it to stop working.

  3. Same as above, but both parents are connected to video0-pll.
     This might be indistinguishable from 1., even if checking whether
     the bit modifications stick or not.

In any case, I think this deserves proper experimentation, and subsequent
documentation in the bindings of our "assumptions" (i.e. educated guess)
about what the hardware is doing.

That doesn't sound good. But it really depends on what we assume the
A64 is doing.
