Subject: [PATCH 00/19] drm: Add Allwinner A10 display engine support
Hi everyone,
The Allwinner SoCs (except for the very latest ones) all share the
same set of controllers, loosely coupled together to form the display
pipeline.
Depending on the SoC, the number of instances of the controller will
change (2 instances of each in the A10, only one in the A13, for
example), and the output availables will change too (HDMI, composite,
VGA on the A20, none of them on the A13).
On most featured SoCs, it looks like that:
+--------------------------------------------+
| RAM |
+--------------------------------------------+
| | | |
v | | v
+----------------+ | | +----------------+
| Frontend | | | | Frontend |
+----------------+ | | +----------------+
| | | |
v | | v
+----------------+ | | +----------------+
| Backend |<+ +>| Backend |
+----------------+ +----------------+
| |
v v
+----------------+ +----------------+---> LVDS
| TCON | | TCON |---> RGB
+----------------+ +----------------+
| +---+ +---+ |
| | | |
v v v v
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+---> VGA
| TV Encoder | | HDMI | | TV Encoder |---> Composite
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+
The current code only assumes that there is a single instance of all
the controllers. It also supports only the RGB and Composite
interfaces.
A few more things are missing though, and will be supported
eventually:
- Overscan support
- Asynchronous page flip
- Multiple plane support
- Composite / VGA Hotplug detection
- More outputs
- Support for several videos pipelines
And there's one big gotcha: thhe code to parse the mode from the
kernel commandline doesn't seem to support named modes. Since we
expose the various TV standards through named modes, it means that
there's no way to use a particular standard to display something
during the kernel boot. The default will always be used, in other
words, PAL.
A few more questions that are probably going to be raised during the
review:
- How do you associate private data to a mode, for example to deal
with the non-generic, driver-specific settings required to deal
with the various TV standards? drm_display_mode seems to have a
private field, but it isn't always preserved.
- How do you setup properties in the kernel command line? In order
to have a decent display during boot on relevant interfaces, you
probably want to setup the overscan beforehand. Overscan seems to
be handled through properties, and afaik, there's no way to set
that from the cmdline. Should we use a kernel parameter to set the
default value instead?
Thanks!
Maxime
