[v7,1/6] drm/tidss: Remove Video Port to Output Port coupling

  Make DSS Video Ports agnostic of output bus types.

DSS controllers have had a 1-to-1 coupling between its VPs and its
output ports. This no longer stands true for the new AM625 DSS. This
coupling, hence, has been removed by renaming the 'vp_bus_type' to
'output_port_bus_type' because the VPs are essentially agnostic of the
bus type and it is the output ports which have a bus type.

The AM625 DSS has 2 VPs but requires 3 output ports to support its
Dual-Link OLDI video output coming from a single VP.

Not a biggie, but this sentence is a bit odd here at the end. Shouldn't 
it be after the "...stands true for the new AM625 DSS."?

Just thinking out loud, as these will get more complex in the future, 
maybe we should finally group them with struct. E.g. we could define 
struct array for vps, like (just hacky example):

	struct {
		const char *name;
		const char *clkname;
		struct tidss_vp_feat feat;
	} vps[TIDSS_MAX_PORTS];

and then use them as:

	.vps = {
		{
			.name = "kala",
			.clkname = "kissa",
			.feat.color.has_ctm = true,
		}, {
			.name = "kala2",
			.clkname = "kissa2",
			.feat.color.has_ctm = false,
		},
	},

Perhaps something to try in the future.

I think this line feed is extra.

Indent doesn't look right (but it might be just because this is a diff).

Hmm, so is the hw_videoport a vp index or an output index? Sounds like 
the former, so it's not right, even if at the moment they're identical. 
We need some kind of mapping between those.

If the mapping can be changed (or just defined in the DT), I think we 
need a variable in struct dispc_device, which tells the output to which 
a videoport is connected to. Or vice versa, I'm not sure which direction 
we need more. If the mapping is always the same on all SoC (but I don't 
think so), we can have it in the feats.

Also, I wonder if output_port is a good name as it has "port" in it 
(like video port), and it's a bit long-ish. Would just "output" be 
enough? We could, of course, shorten it to OP, but that looks odd to me =).

Okay, so here you have just "port", not "output_port". In the DT, 
they're ports, so... Maybe we could use that name too, and for video 
port always use "vp". The current "hw_videoport" could be easily 
mistaken with "port".

I don't recall why I chose to use "hw" prefix there. I think I wanted to 
separate it from some other videoport, but... I don't know what that 
"other" is =).

Hi Tomi,

Thanks for the review!

Yes! It should be. Will make the edit.

As of now, the mapping is always same. But I would like to make is
generalized for future. Hence, I am considering to keep the variable in
struct dispc_device.

My question though would be, how would one be able to find which kind
of device is the port connected to, if it is connected to a bridge? For
example, in case of panels, we have a "connector_type" variable in
drm_panel which tells what kind of sink it is. But there is no such
thing in drm_bridge.

This is required because what if we can connect an videoport to either
an LVDS/OLDI bridge or a DPI bridge.

Also, implementing this might mean removal of the part of code which
confirms that the panel's "connector_type" indeed expects what the VP
can provide, unless there is a way to find out what the sink is before
calling the drm_of_find_panel_or_bridge API.


On the direction, the primary requirement of hw_videoport has been in
the tidss_dispc.c file where the HW registers are getting configured.
'hw_videoport' is a frequently passed parameter in function calls. So,
at a first glance the former option might makes more sense for
direction, i.e. to have a variable which tells the output to which a
videoport is connected to.

And while, there is also the tidss_kms.c file, which deals with
initializing encoders and attaching bridges. This is where the
output_port is required more often. But I am yet to think of a case
where the above direction could be an issue.

I see what you are saying and how somebody could confusre hw_videoport
for a physical connection (i.e. port). I have always understoof
hw_videoport to be a thing of the actual VP inside the SoC, but that may
be because I have been working on this, and not just trying to
understand the code from a high level.

How about if I change the output_port to "out_port"? I am okay to keep
"output" as the name to. I am saying this becuase I think, only keeping
"port" might just confuse more, as you mentioned above.

And then we can change "hw_videoport" to "vp_index", perhaps, or even
keep that as it is? Becuase if we do have a VP structure in future
like you suggested above, "vps" and "vp" would become a close overlap.
For eg, "vps[vp]".

How do these sound to you?

Perhaps because just a "videoport" might be confused with a connector on
the board, as in "HDMI port"? And the prefix might be a way to clarify
that its the DSS controller's VP. =)

The connector type shouldn't matter.

The DSS has VPs and outputs. The VPs are "generic" and identical to each 
other, except in their possible connections to the outputs. The outputs, 
at least at the moment, are DPI, LVDS and internal, where internal is 
basically just DPI.

Those are the three different cases we are interested in within the dss 
driver, right? Does it matter where the DPI or LVDS output goes?

So what I'm saying is that the DSS device tree data should already 
define what kind of configuration we need, and there's no need to look 
further into the panel/bridge nodes.

Hmm, well, each DSS output (port in DT) is of a certain type, so we 
should be able to validate that the output and the panel's 
connector_type match.

Yes, I agree "port" is not good. Other than that, no strong opinions. 
Whatever name you pick, someone will find it confusing ;). Just keep it 
consistent, so that all enums, parameters, etc. use it a consistent 
manner. If I had to choose, I'd go with the "output", but I'm fine with 
other names too.

That is true. I think that was the reason I chose hw_videoport instead 
of videoport or vp, although vps[hw_videoport] is only barely better.

vp_index is ok for me, or maybe vp_idx or vp_num to have it a bit shorter.

I believe it does. =)

While the VPs do always transmit DPI signals, the code in tidss_dispc.c
uses the information of the bus connected at the endpoint to configure
the OLDI parameters, and to turn OLDI IOs on and off in
dispc_vp_(prepare/unprepare).

Up until now, the outputs have been fixed (VP0 -> OLDI, VP1 -> DPI), and
the code used the enum dispc_vp_bus_type to differntiate between LVDS or
DPI requirements. But for a general case where output from VP0 could
either use the OLDI TXes and send out LVDS signals OR bypass the OLDI
TXes and send out DPI signals directly, we would need a mechanism to
find out which sink is present at the end, LVDS or DPI.

I assumed, with that mechanism, we could (re)configure the vp-to-output
mapping, which then would be used in the various places in
tidss_dispc.c.

Alright! I am good with using "output".

"vp_idx" seems better!

But we should already know all that. Say, on AM625, we have three ports 
(or "outputs") (defined in DT), OLDI1, DPI, OLDI2. If there's an 
endpoint configured for the first port, we know we need to set up OLDI, 
and we need a VP for it. If the hardware mapping between VPs and outputs 
is hardcoded, we know directly that VP0 is needed, and it's used for 
OLDI. So now we have the mapping of VP0 -> OLDI (port1).

If (say) VP0 could alternatively be used for DPI output, then we'd see 
the second port, DPI, having an endpoint configured. Having both OLDI1 
and DPI endpoints would be invalid, of course.

So "how would one be able to find which kind of device is the port 
connected to" is irrelevant, I think. We know the output port, so we 
know the bus type, and we don't really need to know anything else about 
what's there behind the bus.

Or is there some detail I'm missing here?
