Bumping this one: it seems like the Rockchip VOP either always applies the YTR transform, or has a YTR control bit which is not documented in the driver's register definitions. This means that it is incorrect to advertise the currently-used modifier, which specifies that YTR is _not_ used, and doing so breaks Panfrost which correctly uses the modifier as documented. Based on our knowledge of Mali, we believe that Panfrost is correct, and the error lies with Rockchip erroneously using the YTR transform in the VOP's AFBC decoder despite declaring through the modifier that YTR is not in use. Looking at the downstream vendor tree, VOP2 as used in newer SoCs has explicit control bits for YTR and other AFBC knobs, but this has been substantially reworked from the original VOP and is not applicable to this IP block. Mark, or others from Rockchip, can you please: - explain if there is a way to enable/disable the YTR transform in the VOP's AFBC decoder, similar to the split-block control bit? - ack this patch which correctly declares that the YTR transform is in use in order to make Panfrost work, so it can be merged through drm-misc, or provide another solution which fixes this API mistake? - if VOP does have a hidden YTR-disable bit, add support to disable YTR so rockchip-drm can continue advertising the non-YTR modifier, and Cc this patch for backporting to every kernel tree which declares AFBC modifier support? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Daniel _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
