drm/panel: Avoid warnings w/ panel-simple/panel-edp at shutdown

2024-07-22T16:00:58+00:00

At shutdown if you've got a _properly_ coded DRM modeset driver then you'll get these two warnings at shutdown time: Skipping disable of already disabled panel Skipping unprepare of already unprepared panel These warnings are ugly and sound concerning, but they're actually a sign of a properly working system. That's not great. We're not ready to get rid of the calls to drm_panel_disable() and drm_panel_unprepare() because we're not 100% convinced that all DRM modeset drivers are properly calling drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() or drm_helper_force_disable_all() at the right times. However, having the warning show up for correctly working systems is bad. As a bit of a workaround, add some "if" tests to try to avoid the warning on correctly working systems. Also add some comments and update the TODO items in the hopes that future developers won't be too confused by what's going on here.

drm/mipi-dsi: Introduce mipi_dsi_*_write_seq_multi()

2024-05-15T20:59:13+00:00

The current mipi_dsi_*_write_seq() macros are non-intutitive because they contain a hidden "return" statement that will return out of the _caller_ of the macro. Let's mark them as deprecated and instead introduce some new macros that are more intuitive. These new macros are less optimal when an error occurs but should behave more optimally when there is no error. Specifically these new macros cause smaller code to get generated and the code size savings (less to fetch from RAM, less cache space used, less RAM used) are important. Since the error case isn't something we need to optimize for and these new macros are easier to understand and more flexible, they should be used. After converting to use these new functions, one example shows some nice savings while also being easier to understand. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter \ ...after/panel-novatek-nt36672e.ko \ ...ctx/panel-novatek-nt36672e.ko add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-988 (-988) Function old new delta nt36672e_1080x2408_60hz_init 6236 5248 -988 Total: Before=10651, After=9663, chg -9.28% Reviewed-by: Neil Armstrong Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240514102056.v5.5.Ie94246c30fe95101e0e26dd5f96e976dbeb8f242@changeid Signed-off-by: Neil Armstrong Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240514102056.v5.5.Ie94246c30fe95101e0e26dd5f96e976dbeb8f242@changeid

drm/todo: Add entry about implementing buffer age for damage tracking

2023-11-24T14:15:30+00:00

Currently, only damage tracking for frame damage is supported. If a driver needs to do buffer damage (e.g: the framebuffer attached to plane's state has changed since the last page-flip), the damage helpers just fallback to a full plane update. Add en entry in the TODO about implementing buffer age or any other damage accumulation algorithm for buffer damage handling.
