[PATCH 0/3] Arm China Linlon-D6 display controller support

[PATCH 0/3] Arm China Linlon-D6 display controller support

[Cunyuan Liu]

Adds Komeda DRM support for Arm China Linlon-D6. The IP is register-compatible
with Mali-D71, so we reuse the D71 code path.

  [1/3] dt-bindings: vendor-prefixes: add Arm Technology (China) "armchina"
  [2/3] dt-bindings: add armchina,linlon-d6 compatible (fallback to arm,mali-d71)
  [3/3] drm/komeda: add Linlon-D6 product ID and of_device_id, use D71 funcs

Tested on Radxa Orion O6 with Linlon-D6, basic display bring-up works as expected.

Thanks,
Cunyuan

Is this not a subsidiary of arm, that should just use the arm prefix?

It is more complicated than that. For what the kernel is interested in
they should be treated as a separate entity as their products do not
carry automatic compatibility with arm's ones.

Yeah, it's joint venture, so not the same company. Also, according to
their website they have trademark agreement to use the name "Arm", FWIW.

[PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: display: arm,komeda: add Arm China Linlon D6 compatible

[Cunyuan Liu]

Add the Arm China Linlon D6 display controller compatible string.

Linlon D6 is register-compatible with Mali-D71, so describe it as a
vendor-specific compatible with a fallback to "arm,mali-d71".

So that's enum in previous d32 entry.

Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the comments.

To make sure I understood correctly: you are suggesting to merge the
linlon-d6 and mali-d32 cases into a single entry and use an enum for
the first compatible string, like this:
compatible:
    oneOf:
      - items:
          - enum:
              - arm,mali-d32
              - armchina,linlon-d6
          - const: arm,mali-d71
      - const: arm,mali-d71

If so, I will send an updated patch later.

Thanks,
Cunyuan

[PATCH 3/3] drm/komeda: Add support for Arm China Linlon-D6

[Cunyuan Liu]

Arm China Linlon-D6 is register-compatible with the Mali-D71 display
pipeline for the purpose of basic modesetting.

On Linlon-D6, the PRODUCT_ID register is located at the same offset as on
Mali-D71 and reports 0x0060. The IP also exposes the same Komeda top-level
block layout expected by the existing d71_identify() probing flow, so we
can reuse the D71 function table to bring up the display engine.
