Cool. this will likely mean turning the NWL part into a bridge which I can look into. We want that when interfacing with mxsfb anyway.

Wasn't this supposed to act like a glue > and gather all i.MX related display controllers under the imx-drm > umbrella? Not really. We never had a plan to support all kinds of i.MX display hardware in a single driver. At some point imx-drm acted as the glue to bring all the components of the i.MX display pipeline together, but much of that functionality has since been split out and is now available as infrastructure in the kernel, like the DRM bridges, devicetree graph bindings and device links. All those infrastructure parts make it easy to write a separate DRM driver, without duplicating lots of code from imx-drm. It made sense to extend imx-drm as long as the hardware was close and/or an extension to already existing hardware. But DCSS is totally different from the currently supported IPU design. > But, on the other hand, I agree it would be best, going forward, to have > it separate. Easier to maintain and, most likely, simpler. Seems we agree on the direction this should take. :) Regards, Lucas ___ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel

We've also made lots of improvements in the helpers, I think a clean driver will be quiet a bit smaller than an imx based one. ARM is doing the same with komeda and the malidp driver btw. Another option would be 2 kms drivers in one .ko, which is what nouveau does with pre-nv50 and post-nv50. But that only makes sense if you have also the render side in the same driver because it's all from the same vendor. msm is similar, with msm4 vs msm5. But for soc display-only I think two separate drivers, if the hw really changed enough, is the best option. You can still stuff them into the same subdir ofc.

It's a totally different hardware, with very different behavior, so there is basically no potential for any code sharing. The downstream driver is a hell of "oh, things are different here, let's introduce yet another function pointer to make the distinction between the HW". It complicates the imx-drm for no good reason. Our experience with imx-drm is that it is already at a complexity level that makes it hard to reason about things when hunting bugs.

Well, they have to be done one by one, and I guess DCSS should be the first one. I think it's fine to test DCSS with out-of-tree HDMI or MIPI driver which is not ready for submission yet.

We have been looking at how to support DCSS in mainline for a while, but most of the actual work got pushed behind in schedule due to other priorities. One thing I can can say for certain is that DCSS should not be integrated into imx-drm. It's a totally different hardware and downstream clearly shows that it's not a good idea to cram it into imx- drm. Also the artificial split between hardware control in drivers/gpu/imx/dcss and the DRM driver is just cargo-cult from the IPU/imx-drm split. For the IPU we did it as the IPU has legs in both DRM for the output parts and V4L2 for the input parts. As the DCSS has no video input capabilities the driver could be simplified a lot by moving it all into a single DRM driver.

[PATCH 0/2] drm: imx: Add NWL MIPI DSI host controller support
This adds initial support for the NWL MIPI DSI Host controller found on i.MX8 SoCs. It adds support for the i.MX8MQ but the same IP core can also be found on e.g. i.MX8QXP. I added the necessary hooks to support other imx8 variants but since I only have imx8mq boards to test I omitted the platform data for other SoCs. The code is based on NXPs BSP so I added Robert Chiras as Co-authored-by but I'm happy to swap Author: and Co-authored-by: if that looks more appropriate. The most notable changes over the BSP driver are - Calculate HS mode timing from phy_configure_opts_mipi_dphy - Perform all clock setup via DT - Merge nwl-imx and nwl drivers - Add B0 silion revision quirk Posting this is likely a bit premature (hence v0) but I wanted for one show how this hooks into the mixel dphy posted earlier [1] and avoid duplicating work. So if there's other code out there doing the same I'm be happy to merge efforts. It has been tested quite bit (in a version backported to 4.18) on Librem 5 devkit using DCSS (which is not mainlined yet) and a MIPI DSI panel[2]. In principle LCDIF can also act as input source. I intend look into next so this can actually be tested without further patches on mainline kernels.
