In ssd16xx_fb_dirty(), partial refresh uses ctrl1_normal so the controller compares BW RAM (new frame) against RED RAM (previous frame), and writes the new frame to RED RAM only after ssd16xx_display_update() completes: drivers/gpu/drm/solomon/ssd16xx.c:ssd16xx_fb_dirty() { case SSD16XX_REFRESH_PARTIAL: default: ssd16xx_display_update(device, device->controller_cfg->ctrl1_normal, SSD16XX_CTRL1_BYTE2_DEFAULT, ctrl2_tbl[SSD16XX_REFRESH_PARTIAL], &err); ssd16xx_send_cmd(device, SSD1683_CMD_WRITE_RAM_RED, &err); ssd16xx_send_data_bulk(device, mono_buffer, data_size, &err); break; } Here in ssd16xx_clear_display(), RED RAM is overwritten with white_buffer before ssd16xx_display_update(), and in BW mode ctrl1_bypass_red_ram is passed instead of ctrl1_normal. Doesn't overwriting and bypassing RED RAM before the update prevent the partial refresh waveform from driving previously black pixels to white? [Severity: High] What happens if clear_on_init, clear_on_close, or clear_on_disable is set to 2 (SSD16XX_REFRESH_FAST) while device->refresh_mode is SSD16XX_REFRESH_PARTIAL (the default for GDEY042T81)? In ssd16xx_hw_init(), the fast refresh LUT is only preloaded when device->refresh_mode =3D=3D SSD16XX_REFRESH_FAST: drivers/gpu/drm/solomon/ssd16xx.c:ssd16xx_hw_init() { if (device->refresh_mode =3D=3D SSD16XX_REFRESH_FAST) { ssd16xx_send_cmd(device, SSD16XX_CMD_DISPLAY_UPDATE_CONTROL1, &err); ssd16xx_send_data(device, device->controller_cfg->ctrl1_bypass_red_ram, &= err); ssd16xx_send_data(device, SSD16XX_CTRL1_BYTE2_DEFAULT, &err); ssd16xx_send_cmd(device, SSD16XX_CMD_DISPLAY_UPDATE_CONTROL2, &err); ssd16xx_send_data(device, device->controller_cfg->ctrl2_load_temp_lut, &e= rr); ssd16xx_send_cmd(device, SSD16XX_CMD_MASTER_ACTIVATION, &err); ssd16xx_wait_for_device(device, &err); } } Because SSD1683_CTRL2_FAST_REFRESH (0xC7) omits SSD16XX_CTRL2_LOAD_LUT, won= 't calling ssd16xx_clear_display() with fast refresh run with no LUT loaded on init (after SW_RESET in ssd16xx_hw_init()) or with the Mode 2 partial LUT on disable/close (after partial refreshes)? Conversely, if device->refresh_mode is SSD16XX_REFRESH_FAST and a partial clear runs, won't the partial clear overwrite the hardware LUT with Mode 2 without setting device->fast_lut_pending?
