Hi Hans, Ian,
This series enables the VGA output on the Hummingbird A31. The VGA output
is driven from LCD0, through an external DAC that's powered up by toggling
pin PH25.
Patch 1 allows selecting CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA_VIA_LCD on sun6i and sun8i.
These 2 platforms do not have builtin TV encoders, and some vendor may
use an external DAC to support VGA.
Patch 2 adds support for toggling a GPIO pin as part of the video init
sequence to power up the DAC
Patch 3 updates the Hummingbird A31 defconfig to enable VGA output.
I have one question about the VGA_VIA_LCD code in general. The color depth
is forced to 18. Is this necessary? Can we make it configurable? I haven't
tried displaying pictures so I don't know if it makes a visible difference.
Also with the VGA output on my Hummingbird A31, I get greenish flashing
pixels where it should be black, like in and between characters. Once
booted in to the kernel this disappears, and I get a nice console with
simplefb. Kind of weird.
Cheers
ChenYu
