I have been using a custom LCD display on a beaglebone black running a 3.8 
kernel using the DA8xx framebuffer.

I am now trying a new kernel with the TILCDC DRM driver.  So I have built a 
new kernel with the TILCDC driver enabled and have disabled DA8xx 
framebuffer support.


I have modified my device tree to include the following.

panel {
compatible =  "ti,tilcdc,panel";
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&lcd_pins_s0>;
status = "okay";
 panel-info {
bpp = <16>;
ac-bias = <255>;
ac-bias-intrpt = <0>;
dma-burst-sz = <16>;
fdd = <0x80>;
sync-edge = <1>;
sync-ctrl = <1>;
raster-order = <0>;
fifo-th = <0>;
invert-pxl-clk;
}; 
display-timings {
native-mode = <&timing0>;
timing0: 480x800 {
bpp = <16>; 
clock-frequency = <28000000>;
hactive = <480>;
vactive = <800>;
hfront-porch = <1>;
hback-porch = <20>;
hsync-len = <1>;
vback-porch = <11>;
vfront-porch = <9>;
vsync-len = <10>;
hsync-active = <1>;
vsync-active = <1>;
};
}; 

}; 


The display timings and pinmux settings are the working values from the 
DA8xx framebuffer.
On booting the kernel I get the following snippets.


[    1.273229] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[    1.784763] [drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 2 (21.10.2013).
[    1.791771] [drm] No driver support for vblank timestamp query.

[    1.805890] tilcdc 4830e000.lcdc: fb0:  frame buffer device
[    1.811792] tilcdc 4830e000.lcdc: registered panic notifier
[    1.817647] [drm] Initialized tilcdc 1.0.0 20121205 on minor 0


running fbset gives me the following info



mode "480x800"
    geometry 480 800 480 800 16
    timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    accel true
    rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode

Obviously the timings are wrong.


I have the following listed in /sys/class/drm 

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan 16 07:17 card0 -> 
../../devices/ocp.3/4830e000.lcdc/drm/card0/
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan 16 07:17 card0-LVDS-1 -> 
../../devices/ocp.3/4830e000.lcdc/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             0 Jan 16 07:17 controlD64 -> 
../../devices/ocp.3/4830e000.lcdc/drm/controlD64/

further more.

cat /sys/class/drm/card0-LVDS-1/status 
connected

cat /sys/class/drm/card0-LVDS-1/enabled
disabled

My problem is that it is not enabled.
I am assuming I need to pass some sort of "video=" to the kernel from 
uboot, but I have no idea what.
Is there some other configuration I am missing ?

Has anyone else got this driver to work with an LCD panel ?



many thanks
Ben
