Subject: [PATCH v5 0/7] drm/verisilicon: add Nuvoton MA35D1 DCU Lite support
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 17:44:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625094449.708386-1-a0987203069@gmail.com> (raw)
This series adds support for the Verisilicon DCUltraLite display
controller as integrated in the Nuvoton MA35D1 SoC.
The Verisilicon DC driver and its DT binding were originally written by
Icenowy Zheng <zhengxingda@iscas.ac.cn> for the T-Head TH1520 SoC, which
carries a DC8200 IP block. The present series builds on that foundation
with gratitude to Icenowy for the original work.
The DCUltraLite is a different variant in the DC IP family. While the two
IPs share a broadly similar register layout, a number of differences
prevent the existing driver from working on the MA35D1 without
modification:
- No CONFIG_EX commit path: the DC8200 staging registers
(FB_CONFIG_EX, FB_TOP_LEFT, FB_BOTTOM_RIGHT, FB_BLEND_CONFIG,
PANEL_CONFIG_EX) are absent. The DCUltraLite uses enable (bit 0) and
reset (bit 4) bits in FB_CONFIG for direct framebuffer updates, and
requires a per-frame VALID bit toggle (FB_CONFIG bit 3) to latch
configuration changes.
- No PANEL_START register: panel output begins when
PANEL_CONFIG.RUNNING is set; the DC8200 multi-display sync start
register at 0x1CCC does not exist.
- Different IRQ registers: DISP_IRQ_STA at 0x147C / DISP_IRQ_EN at
0x1480, versus the DC8200's TOP_IRQ_ACK at 0x0010 / TOP_IRQ_EN at
0x0014.
- Simpler clock topology: two clocks ("core" bus gate and "pix0" pixel
divider); no axi or ahb clocks required.
- Single display output: no per-output indexing beyond index 0 is
needed.
- Hardware-discoverable identity: the DCUltraLite exposes chip identity
registers whose model field reads 0x0 (revision 0x5560,
customer_id 0x305), allowing the existing vs_fill_chip_identity()
path to identify the variant purely through register reads.
Patch 1 generalises the verisilicon,dc DT binding to accommodate the
Nuvoton MA35D1 SoC-specific compatible and the variant's two-clock,
one-reset, single-port topology.
Patch 2 adds the register-level macros needed by the DC8000 ops.
Patches 3-5 introduce the driver changes in three logical steps: the
vs_dc_funcs hardware ops vtable with DC8200 ops extracted into
vs_dc8200.c; making axi/ahb clocks optional as a separate atomic change;
and the DC8000 ops in vs_dc8000.c. Patch 6 adds the DCUltraLite HWDB
entry that gates hardware recognition once all support is in place.
Patch 7 adds the Kconfig dependency on ARCH_MA35, placed last because it
is only meaningful after the HWDB entry is added.
All patches have been tested on Nuvoton MA35D1 hardware.
Changes from v4:
- [dt-bindings] Kept clock and reset item descriptions in the global
clocks:/resets: properties; per-compatible sections only constrain
minItems/maxItems and override clock-names items for nuvoton,ma35d1-dcu.
- [dt-bindings] Dropped redundant global minItems/maxItems on clocks:
and clock-names:.
- [dt-bindings] Dropped the extra-space typo fix in port@0 description
to keep the patch atomic; left for a separate patch later.
- [ops] Renamed crtc_enable/crtc_disable hooks to crtc_enable_ex/
crtc_disable_ex.
- [ops] Added unified IRQ bit definitions; each irq_ack() implementation
now translates hardware-specific bits before returning.
- [clocks] Split the axi/ahb optional-clock change into its own patch
for atomicity.
- [hwdb] Simplified the commit message for patch 6.
- [kconfig] Simplified the commit message for patch 7.
