[PATCH 0/2] drm/solomon: Add support for the SSD133x controller family

[PATCH 0/2] drm/solomon: Add support for the SSD133x controller family

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Hello,

This patch-set adds support for the family of SSD133x Solomon controllers,
such as the SSD1331. These are used for RGB Dot Matrix OLED/PLED panels.

The patches were tested on a Waveshare SSD1331 display using glmark2-drm,
fbcon, fbtests and the retroarch emulator.

Patch #1 adds a DT binding schema for the SSD133x controllers and patch #2
extends the ssd130x DRM driver to support the SSD133x controller family.

Best regards,
Javier

Do you envisage a rake of devices that are going to end up in this
binding? Otherwise, why not unconditionally set the constraints?

Cheers,
Conor.

Because these are only for the default width and height, there can be
panels using the same controller but that have a different resolution.

For example, there are panels using the SSD1306 controller that have
128x32 [0], 64x32 [1] or 128x64 [2] resolutions.

But answering your question, yes I think that more devices for this
SSD133x family are going to be added later. Looking at [3], there is
at least SSD1333 that has a different default resolutions (176x176).

I think that even the SSD135x family could be supported by the same
modsetting pipeline, but I need to get one to figure it out.

This, as you know, does not matter here.

That's fair enough though. I'd probably err on the side of introducing
this complexity when the other users actually show up though.

Are you sure? What I tried to say is that the SSD133x are just OLED
controllers and manufacturers use those chips to attach a panel that
has a certain resolution.

While it makes sense to use all the supported width and height, some
manufacturers chose to have a smaller panel instead (I used SSD1306
as an example because I knew about these but the same might be true
for let's say SSD1331).

Or saying another way, are you sure that every manufacturer selling
RGB OLED panels using the SSD1331 chip will use the default resolution
and users won't have to set a custom width and height ?

I have already chosen to make the DT binding as simple as possible to
prevent what happened with the SSD1306 "solomon,page-offset" property
that has a broken default [0] but I think that not allowing to set the
resolution is already too restrictive and would make it unusable for
any panel that doesn't have the default width and height.

Agree and the reason why I did not include entries for the SSD1332 and
SSD1333. I was planning to add those only if there were users since it
seems that the SSD1331 is the most popular controller from this family.

But as explained, even for the SSD1331 it may be needed to set a width
and height that is different than the default of this panel controller.

That's not at all what I was saying. I just meant unconditionally set
the constraints on the property (in this case the default) since you
only have one compatible. Not unconditionally set the height and width.

Apologies if if that was unclear.

Thanks,
Conor.

Oh, I see that you meant now. Sorry for my confusion!

And yes, I agree with you that doesn't make sense to make it conditional
if there's only a single compatible. I'll drop that if condition on v2.

Use 4 spaces for example indentation.
