I'd prefer for this to be split up into patches per panel and per display driver. The reason is that if this patch is merged as-is, then if it's ever determined to cause a regression it'll be difficult to find out which change exactly caused this. But to not break bisectability you'll need to be careful in how you break up the patches. I think the following should work: - for each panel driver, implement dummy .prepare() and .unprepare() that return 0 - for each display driver, make use of drm_panel_prepare() and drm_panel_unprepare() - for each panel driver, properly implement .prepare() and .unprepare() (presumably by moving code out of .enable() and .disable(), respectively) I have a couple more comments below about the ordering of the .prepare() vs. .enable() and .disable() vs. .unprepare() calls. > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dsi.c > b/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dsi.c > index 5e78d45..2f58e45 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dsi.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_dsi.c > @@ -1333,6 +1333,12 @@ static int exynos_dsi_enable(struct exynos_dsi *dsi) > if (ret < 0) > return ret; > > + ret = drm_panel_prepare(dsi->panel); > + if (ret < 0) { > + exynos_dsi_poweroff(dsi); > + return ret; > + } > + > ret = drm_panel_enable(dsi->panel); > if (ret < 0) { > exynos_dsi_poweroff(dsi); > @@ -1354,6 +1360,7 @@ static void exynos_dsi_disable(struct exynos_dsi *dsi) > > exynos_dsi_set_display_enable(dsi, false); > drm_panel_disable(dsi->panel); > + drm_panel_unprepare(dsi->panel); > exynos_dsi_poweroff(dsi); I don't know Exynos very well, so this may be completely wrong, but should disable_panel_prepare() be called much earlier than drm_panel_enable() and drm_panel_unprepare() much later than drm_panel_disable()? With the above the result is still the same, so you'll get the same glitches as without their separation. Without knowing exactly what Exynos does in the above, I'd expect the correct sequence to be something like this: ret = exynos_dsi_power_on(dsi); if (ret < 0) return ret; ret = drm_panel_prepare(dsi->panel); if (ret < 0) { exynos_dsi_poweroff(dsi); return ret; } exynos_dsi_set_display_mode(dsi); exynos_dsi_set_display_enable(dsi, true); ret = drm_panel_enable(dsi->panel); if (ret < 0) { /* perhaps undo exynos_dsi_set_display_enable() here? */ exynos_dsi_poweroff(dsi); return ret; } And for disable: drm_panel_disable(dsi->panel); exynos_dsi_set_display_enable(dsi, false); drm_panel_unprepare(dsi->panel); exynos_dsi_poweroff(dsi); Perhaps I should quote the kerneldoc that I added for drm_panel_funcs to underline why I think this is important: /** * struct drm_panel_funcs - perform operations on a given panel * @disable: disable panel (turn off back light, etc.) * @unprepare: turn off panel * @prepare: turn on panel and perform set up * @enable: enable panel (turn on back light, etc.) * @get_modes: add modes to the connector that the panel is attached to and * return the number of modes added * * The .prepare() function is typically called before the display controller * starts to transmit video data. Panel drivers can use this to turn the panel * on and wait for it to become ready. If additional configuration is required * (via a control bus such as I2C, SPI or DSI for example) this is a good time * to do that. * * After the display controller has started transmitting video data, it's safe * to call the .enable() function. This will typically enable the backlight to * make the image on screen visible. Some panels require a certain amount of * time or frames before the image is displayed. This function is responsible * for taking this into account before enabling the backlight to avoid visual * glitches. * * Before stopping video transmission from the display controller it can be * necessary to turn off the panel to avoid visual glitches. This is done in * the .disable() function. Analogously to .enable() this typically involves * turning off the backlight and waiting for some time to make sure no image * is visible on the panel. It is then safe for the display controller to * cease transmission of video data. * * To save power when no video data is transmitted, a driver can power down * the panel. This is the job of the .unprepare() function. */ As you see, .prepare() should do whatever is necessary to make the panel accept a stream of video data, then the display driver can start sending video data and call .enable() to make the transmitted data visible. Analogously .disable() should turn off the display, so that the user can no longer see what's going on, then the display controller can cease transmission of video data (and since the panel is disabled this should no longer cause visual glitches) and then call .unprepare() to turn the panel off. I know that this isn't immediately relevant just yet because currently the backlight will already turn on by default, but like we discussed earlier I have ideas on how to properly fix it. As a matter of fact I'll go and send out another mail about that when I'm through this series. > static const struct drm_panel_funcs ld9040_drm_funcs = { > + .unprepare = ld9040_unprepare, > .disable = ld9040_disable, > + .prepare = ld9040_prepare, > .enable = ld9040_enable, > .get_modes = ld9040_get_modes, > }; The patch I applied for .prepare() and .unprepare() I've reordered the functions slightly to give a more natural sequence. .disable() is now first, while .unprepare() is next, since that's the sequence that they should be called in. Patches for the panel drivers should follow this same ordering. > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c > b/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c > index a251361..fb0cfe2 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-simple.c > @@ -45,7 +45,8 @@ struct panel_desc { > > struct panel_simple { > struct drm_panel base; > - bool enabled; > + bool panel_enabled; > + bool backlight_enabled; Perhaps this should rather be: bool prepared; bool enabled; ? > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/output.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/output.c > index 446837e..b574ee6 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/output.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/output.c > @@ -139,9 +139,11 @@ static void tegra_encoder_dpms(struct drm_encoder > *encoder, int mode) > > if (mode != DRM_MODE_DPMS_ON) { > drm_panel_disable(panel); > + drm_panel_unprepare(panel); > tegra_output_disable(output); Similarly to my comments for the Exynos drivers, this should be: drm_panel_disable(panel); tegra_output_disable(output); drm_panel_unprepare(panel); > } else { > tegra_output_enable(output); > + drm_panel_prepare(panel); > drm_panel_enable(panel); > } and drm_panel_prepare(panel); tegra_output_enable(output); drm_panel_enable(panel); Thierry
