+PXA LCDC Framebuffer
+--------------------
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible :
+ "marvell,pxa2xx-lcdc",
+ - reg : Should contain 1 register ranges(address and length).
+ Can contain an additional register range(address and length)
+ for fixed framebuffer memory. Useful for dedicated memories.
+ - interrupts : framebuffer controller interrupt
+
+Required nodes:
+ - clocks: phandle to input clocks.
+ - port: connection to the LCD panel (see video-interfaces.txt)
+ This nodes must have its properties bus-width and remote-endpoint set.
+ This should be in the board dts.
+
+Example:
+
+ lcd-controller@40500000 {
+ compatible = "marvell,pxa2xx-lcdc";
+ reg = <0x44000000 0x10000>;
+ interrupts = <17>;
+ clocks = <&clks CLK_LCD>;
+ interrupts = <23>;
+ status = "okay";
+
+ port {
+ lcdc_out: endpoint {
+ remote-endpoint = <&panel_in>;
+ bus-width = <16>;
+ };
+ };
+ };
+
+PXA LCDC Display
+----------------
+Required properties (as per of_videomode_helper):
+ - lcd-type: either "mono-stn", "mono-dstn", "color-stn", "color-dstn",
+ "color-tft", "smart-panel"
+
+Optional properties (as per of_videomode_helper):
+ - power-supply: power supply regulator to the LCD to power it on or off
+ (see regulator.txt)
+ - backlight: backlight control (see backlight.txt)
+
+Required nodes:
+ - port: connection to the LCD controller
+ - display-timings: panel timings (see display-timing.txt)
+
+Example:
+ panel {
+ compatible = "toshiba,ltm0305a776";
+ lcd-type = "color-tft";
+
+ power-supply = <&lcd_supply>;
+ backlight = <&lcd_backlight>;

All pxa25x, pxa27x and pxa3xx are compatible. AFAIK, pxa3xx has an IP with additional registers. But : - these (this) register(s) is not necessary for the display controller to work (it's more a control to shift red/green/blue values, and energy management) - all the registers in pxa2{5,7}x are the same in pxa3xx The pxafb driver acts today on the subset of registers which are the same across all pxaXXX variants. This is what made me think only one compatible property was required.

Ah I see, so this could be optional maybe ? Actually when I'll move the panel definition to bindings/display/panel, is this what I should do : - create a file marvell,pxa2xx-panel - input all these properties into this file And then, when a board maintainer will create a devicetree description, he will write something like : compatible = "toshiba,ltm0305a776"; compatible = "marvell,pxa2xx-panel"; lcd-type = "color-tft"; ... If that's the case, I wonder how to "enforce" that a panel used with marvell,pxa2xx-lcdc (through the of_graph 'port' node) be compatible with marvell,pxa2xx-panel ?

The pxa3xx device tree should contain compatible = "marvell,pxa3xx-lcdc", "marvell,pxa2xx-lcdc"; That way we can just ignore the pxa3xx compatible value until the need arises to do something different with the additional registers, and if that happens we already have it in the device trees. >> If lcd-type is smart-panel, then this node would not make sense. > Ah I see, so this could be optional maybe ? > > Actually when I'll move the panel definition to bindings/display/panel, is this > what I should do : > - create a file marvell,pxa2xx-panel > - input all these properties into this file > > And then, when a board maintainer will create a devicetree description, he will > write something like : > compatible = "toshiba,ltm0305a776"; > compatible = "marvell,pxa2xx-panel"; > lcd-type = "color-tft"; > ... > > If that's the case, I wonder how to "enforce" that a panel used with > marvell,pxa2xx-lcdc (through the of_graph 'port' node) be compatible with > marvell,pxa2xx-panel ? I think we should move to use drm simple-panel as soon as possible, but until this information can be derived from the compatible string, it should maybe stay contained to the lcdc node. At least I don't think adding a marvell panel compatible is a solution. Maybe this could be generalized and added as an optional property to the simple-panel bindings. regards Philipp ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I'm not sure what you mean. Putting the panel into the dts ensures that. The FB driver may check for toshiba,ltm0305a776 or a list of panels. However, a DRM driver would probably not check that.

The type is a hardware property of the panel, and yet it is absolutely mandatory to have it set in the panel. What I mean is : what is the good way to enforce that this property is set somewhere in the devicetree description ? Philipp adviced for it to be transfered to the ldlc description (ie. marvell,pxa2xx-ldlc), while I was thinking of having it in a panel description.

Neither should need marvell,pxa2xx-panel though. I'd lean towards putting it in the panel, but in that case it should be generic for panels which I think it is. It should probably be optional with not present meaning color-tft (since every other type is practically dead), but you could say required on pxa2xx. The only way to enforce it ATM, is panicking or something if the LCDC finds it is not set. That's not any worse that checking for marvell,pxa2xx-panel.
