[PATCH 0/3] LVDS Controller Support for SAM9X7 SoC

[PATCH 0/3] LVDS Controller Support for SAM9X7 SoC

[Dharma Balasubiramani]

This patch series introduces LVDS controller support for the SAM9X7 SoC. The
LVDS controller is designed to work with Microchip's sam9x7 series
System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, providing Low Voltage Differential Signaling
capabilities.

[PATCH 1/3] dt-bindings: display: bridge: add sam9x7-lvds compatible

[Dharma Balasubiramani]

Add the 'sam9x7-lvds' compatible binding, which describes the
Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Controller found on Microchip's
sam9x7 series System-on-Chip (SoC) devices. This binding will be used to
define the properties and configuration for the LVDS Controller in DT.

What is "x"? Wildcard? Then no, don't use it and instead use proper SoC
version number.

No, you just said you have one clock.

This header is not used. Include only used ones (and missing interrupt).

These SoCs actually do have an x in their name. However, and I do always
get confused here, the sam9x7 is a series of SoCs (the cover letter does
say this) rather than a specific device.
I think the series current consists of a sam9x70 sam9x72 and a sam9x75.
The devices are largely similar, but I am not sure if the sam9x70
supports LVDS at all. Having a compatible for the series does not seem
correct to me.

Cheers,
Conor.

Yes, you are correct. Only sam9x72 and sam9x75 have LVDS support, while 
sam9x70 does not. I will revise the compatibility to include both 
sam9x72 and sam9x75, as outlined below:

properties:
   compatible:
     enum:
       - microchip,sam9x72-lvds
       - microchip,sam9x75-lvds

Additionally, I will update the driver accordingly. Thank you.

I would presume these 2 are the same, but the above implies they 
aren't. I think what you had is fine assuming these are all 
fundamentally the same part with just packaging or fused off h/w 
differences.

Yes, so is it okay to have compatible for a series? Shall I go ahead with
"
   compatible:
     const: microchip,sam9x7-lvds
"
itself?

You said 9x70, which would match such 9x7 "series", is different, so I
still think series should not be used. I don't know much about Microchip
naming scheme, so this x is always confusing. However if these are the
same, maybe just use sam9x72?

sam9x75 is the first board to be available publicly; hence, I shall use 
the "microchip,sam9x75-lvds" compatible and reuse the same in other 
boards that (features same IP) will come later.

The term 'X' doesn't serve as a wildcard; rather, it directly represents 
the name of the SoC series, I should use sam9x75,sam9x72 instead of sam9x7.

Please refer 
"Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/atmel,aic.txt"
The third cell is used to specify the irq priority from 0 (lowest) to 
7(highest).

[PATCH 2/3] drm/bridge: add lvds controller support for sam9x7

[Dharma Balasubiramani]

Add a new LVDS controller driver for sam9x7 which does the following:
- Prepares and enables the LVDS Peripheral clock
- Defines its connector type as DRM_MODE_CONNECTOR_LVDS and adds itself
to the global bridge list.
- Identifies its output endpoint as panel and adds it to the encoder
display pipeline
- Enables the LVDS serializer

Why not combining these two?

Handle properly deferred probe. What's DRM wrapper over dev_err_probe()?

OK, that's for sure wrong. Don't print anything on deferred probe.

You should not need MODULE_ALIAS() in normal cases. If you need it,
usually it means your device ID table is wrong (e.g. misses either
entries or MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()). MODULE_ALIAS() is not a substitute
for incomplete ID table.

It seems reasonable to combine these two lines since the resource 
variable (res) is only used at this point. I'll proceed with 
consolidating these lines for simplicity.

Sure, I will use dev_err_probe()

return dev_err_probe(lvds->dev, PTR_ERR(lvds->pclk), "could not get 
pclk_lvds\n");

Sure, I will drop the print here.

Okay, I will remove the MODULE_ALIAS and update the mchp_lvds_dt_ids[] 
as below along with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()

static const struct of_device_id mchp_lvds_dt_ids[] = {
         {
                 .compatible = "microchip,sam9x72-lvds",
         },
         {
                 .compatible = "microchip,sam9x75-lvds",
         },
         {},
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, mchp_lvds_dt_ids);
