Currently uboot wrongly uses 25mV / step for dcdc3, this is a copy and paste
error introduced when adding the axp152_mvolt_to_target during review of the
axp152.c driver. This results in u-boot setting Vddr to 2.3V instead of 1.5V.

This commit fixes this.

This patch fixes a regression introduced by the axp code cleanups did a
while back. The regression causes the DRAM voltage to be set to 2.3V
instead of 1.5V, this patch fixes this.

Please apply this to linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi ASAP.


You seem to have commit access to https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi
Is there any reason why this regression fix has not been pushed
there yet?


When I posted it I was traveling, and I only had upstream u-boot sources on
my laptop, since I knew that u-boot-sunxi has the same issue, I simply did
a git-send-email with the upstream patch to the linux-sunxi list, assuming
someone would quickly pick this important fix up...

Anyways I've pushed it now.

Regards,

Hans

From: Andreas Baierl ich...@imkreisrum.de

Zero area blits are technically valid noops and are requested bay
libvdpau. Return 0 when blit area is zero without performing bogus
calculations.

This reverts commit 3303e27 but also catches the zero values
which were leading to failed calculations.

What kind of failed calculations? Do you mean the suspicious
checks like this:


+if(((para-src_rect.x  0)((-para-src_rect.x)  para-src_rect.w)) ||


There has no following calculation or if-then-else be done at all if 
src_rect.w/h and dst_rect.w/h are zero, because no action has to be 
performed on zero sized src or dst areas?
So catching the zero values at the top with returning 0 would be the 
better solution, as you mentioned further on.

Which do not catch a special case with negative para-src_rect.x where
(-para-src_rect.x == para-src_rect.w) and this causes troubles
further in the function? Or something else?



The above cases should also be catched to avoid doing mixer_blt this 
areas and return 0?

If zero area blits are technically valid and really used, then spamming
the dmesg log is not a really great idea. It may lead to a severe
performance problems.

I agree.

Wouldn't an early check and return 0 (success) be a much better fix?
Maybe something like this:

 if (para-src_rect.w == 0 || para-src_rect.h == 0)
 return 0;
Yes, as mentioned above. What are valid and invalid parameters? In which 
case we should return 0 or -1?


First of all, we have to ensure, that mixer_blt (and the others) are not 
called with a para.src_rect.w(h) == 0 because this may cause problems 
here: 
https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi/blob/sunxi-3.4/drivers/char/sunxi_g2d/g2d_bsp.c#L759

Correct me, if I'm wrong :p

  I don't think this is the right approach, mainly for two reasons: the
  compatible shouldn't change, and you're basically duplicating code
  there.
  
  I understand that you need the new compatible in order to avoid a
  double probing: one by CLK_OF_DECLARE, and one by the usual mechanism,
  and that also implies the second reason.
 
 Not only for that, we need a new compatible also because the mfd framework
 needs a separate compatible per sub-node as that is how it finds nodes
 to attach to the platform devices, so we need a new compatible anyways,
 with your make the mod0 clock driver a platform driver solution we could
 use:

We have a single mod0 clock in there, so no, not really.

Plus, that seems like a bogus limitation from MFD, and it really
shouldn't work that way.

   compatible = allwinner,sun6i-a31-ir-clk, 
 allwinner,sun4i-a10-mod0-clk;

[linux-sunxi] cx231xx video capture error

2014-11-24 Thread webertakaki
Hello All,

   I've been trying without success to capture video from a PixelView 
XCapture USB card, using the cx231xx driver module and ffmpeg on a 
CubieBoard2 (A20). 
   After loading the driver module successfully, I run ffmpeg that captures 
one single empty frame. When I quit ffmpeg the kernel issues the following 
error messages:

cx231xx #0: UsbInterface::sendCommand, failed with status --71
cx231xx #0: UsbInterface::sendCommand, failed with status --71
cx231xx #0: cx231xx_stop_stream():: ep_mask = 8
cx231xx #0: can't change interface 4 alt no. to 0 (err=-71)

   I'm using kernel version 3.4.103, and buildroot to build the root file 
system.  V4L2 where compiled as modules. Some extra information about my 
system are provided further down.

   Thanks in advance. Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Weber

Thanks Kevin. Feeling more comfortable with AllWinner SoC, particularly the 
A80.
2015 will be an excellent year for Allwinner, I will include AW on my 
products and Engineer recommendations.

  They don't have experience in working with the open source community, 
 if you want

Open world is beautiful, but they will not actively participate if

   priority. 
   
   Right now Allwinner is only good for tablets and STBs because 
   Allwinner supplies turnkey solutions. If documentation were more open 
   other applications could be developed. If customer can't get software 
   working for these other applications, they won't buy thousands of 
   chips. So if Allwinner wants to survive past the end of the tablet 
 fad 
   they have to start developing these other markets. Otherwise when the 
   tablet fad is over it will be the end of Allwinner. 
   
   You also over estimate the value of technical secrets.  What is the 
   point of putting a secret h.264 encode/decode unit on the chip if 
 half 
   of your customers can't get it working?  Obviously Rockchip knows how 
   to make h.264 encode/decode since they have a similar unit on their 
   chip. And so does Freescale, TI, ST, etc. -- there is no big secret 
 in 
   making h.264 hardware for people familiar with how to do it (hint, it 
   is an ISO standard).  So by keeping the documentation secret you hide 
   nothing significant from your competitors and much, much worse -- you 
   keep your own customers from using the hardware they bought.  Think 
   about it --- which is more important - hiding something form a 
   competitor that they probably already know, or getting your customers 
   to ship and buy more chips? 
   
   Bottom line - which one brings cash in the door - secret 
 documentation 
   or getting as many customers as possible to ship?

Hi Kevin, 

Publishing the user manuals will certainly increase Allwinner's 
 chips 
popularity. 

I was wondering if there is a rough estimate as to when the A80's 
   manual 
will be made available? 

Thanks!
