Unfortunately, it doesn't look easy to fix the parade-ps8640 driver to
handle the new power sequence. The Linux driver has almost nothing in
it and most of the logic for this bridge chip is in black-box firmware
that the bridge chip uses.

Also unfortunately, reverting the patch will break "tc358762".

The long term solution here is probably Dave Stevenson's series [1]
that would give more flexibility. However, that is likely not a quick
fix.

For the short term, we'll look at the compatible of the next bridge in
the chain and go back to the old way for the Parade PS8640 bridge
chip. If it's found that other bridge chips also need this workaround
then we can add them to the list or consider inverting the condition.

Yes, I think this is a better solution than a full revert

I am curious to know why this doesnt work for parade but will not hold
this patch back for that. We are initializing and turning on DSI PHY now
before turning on the bridge chip which is actually better as we are
putting PHY in a good state.

So this should have been better, but somehow doesn't work.


I can't really explain it, but mostly because the Parade chip is just
a big black box. There have been several times when an OEM using this
bridge chip had one problem or another with getting the display to
turn on, then the parade FAE would make some magic tweak to the
firmware and it would be fixed. The current way that the Linux driver
is working is with pretty much zero configuration so I think this chip
bakes in a bunch of assumptions about the timings / signal coming from
the MIPI DSI side. It doesn't surprise me that changing the order like
this would confuse it.

In theory I believe the Parade chip can run in a less "automatic" mode
where everything is configured and controlled by Linux. I'd really
have preferred if we could have gotten that done, but it didn't end up
happening. :(

Again this is not to block this change (you already have my ack) but 
perhaps to help you debug this for future reference as we wont know what 
change can break parade even in the future if this happens again and the 
compatible check for parade will keep growing.


One suggestion I can give is can we read any status bits out of the 
parade chip in the power_on() method as its right after the new method 
to check why its not in good status or what error bits it throws and 
perhaps share those error bits with the FAE to see when this error can 
come to decode this black box a bit :)


From those bits, we can narrow down why this timing or sequence change 
is affecting them. Like some things could be somehow this is delaying 
the video pixels from transmitting, it expects PHY to be in some state 
etc and we can kind-of reverse engineer why this change broke it.


Like-wise, it is highly possible at the moment we have identified only 
parade not to work but if there is something wrong with this change we 
can atleast know what and address it.


Thanks

Note that, unlike `struct device`, `struct drm_bridge` still has a
`#ifdef` around the `of_node`. The extra stub function in this patch
is to make sure that we can pass COMPILE_TEST, not because I expect
that we'll actually run into real users who are running this driver
without device tree.

Changes in v4:
- Use the compatible string of the next bridge as per Rob.

Changes in v3:
- No longer a revert; now a module parameter.

Changes in v2:
- Remove the mud from my face.
