Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] drm/panel: st7703: Fix resume of XBD599 panel

Hi Ondřej,
hi Guido,

Ondřej, thank you very much for your feedback!

I have a couple of questions.

Please let me point you to the discussion you and Guido had ~2.5 years ago:
<https://lore.kernel.org/all/20200729154809.GA435075@bogon.m.sigxcpu.org/>

What resonates most with me is the following statement from Guido:

My takeaway is, that neither panel needed the actual 120 msec wait time. But Guido was reluctant to change the timing for the Librem 5 devkit panel. That’s why I went for the panel specific implementation.

Of course, we can revisit that decision. Since I don’t have the Librem 5 devkit, I have to kindly ask Guido for advise.

I read that screenshot, that we need a 120 msec wait after sleep OUT before we can send another sleep in (see the “Restriction” row). I can’t seem to find the reference to the 120 msec delay after the sleep IN command. I read the flow chart at the bottom as informational about the duration of the whole procedure that happens after issuing the sleep in command. The only restriction is that we can’t issue any command for 5 msec after sleep in was issued.

Maybe. I can only say that without the timings in this patch (i.e. the ones from your kernel branch) the display on my pinephone is flickering after the first (and every subsequent) time the display is turned off. With your new timing everything works great on the pinephone. Guido states that the timings in your original patch (i.e. the XDB599 specific timings in this patch) the Librem 5 devkit panel doesn’t work.

Do you have a proposal how to proceed without implementing panel specific timings?

Thanks,
  Frank
