I havent got through the series yet but just thought of answering this, So before coming to the power aspects of this, hard-coding was done for the foll reasons: -> We do not have a topology DTSI property in upstream and will probably not have as well till other features are added which support all the topologies -> The DSC panel which is being upstreamed as part of this series is working with this 2,2,1 topology downstream ( dual lm, dual DSC encoders, single DSI ). Other topologies have not been tried on it yet -> There needs to be a better approach to handle all topologies once we have added support for them. It can be either a DTSI property if others agree OR some helper API which will determine the best topology based on various factors. Till then, since this will be the only DSC panel we are adding support for I thought we can start with a fixed topology for now. Coming to the power aspect, I only recommended 2-2-1 here because using two mixers is better power wise as it will split the width/2. We can also do 2-1-1 by enabling 3D mux but this panel has not been validated with a single DSC. So to keep things simple with what has been validated, I thought we can go ahead with 2-2-1 for now. So rather than giving too much importance to the power aspect of it, the other reasons should also be highlighted here as the main reason and the commit text should give these details as well. >> >> So for now we blindly create 2,2,1 topology when DSC is enabled >> >> Co-developed-by: Abhinav Kumar <abhinavk@codeaurora.org> >> Signed-off-by: Abhinav Kumar <abhinavk@codeaurora.org> >> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vkoul@kernel.org> >> --- >> drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ >> 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder.c >> b/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder.c >> index 18cb1274a8bb..bffb40085c67 100644 >> --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder.c >> +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/disp/dpu1/dpu_encoder.c >> @@ -609,8 +609,22 @@ static struct msm_display_topology >> dpu_encoder_get_topology( >> topology.num_enc = 0; >> topology.num_intf = intf_count; >> + drm_enc = &dpu_enc->base; >> + priv = drm_enc->dev->dev_private; >> + if (priv && priv->dsc) { >> + /* In case of Display Stream Compression DSC, we would use >> + * 2 encoders, 2 line mixers and 1 interface >> + * this is power optimal and can drive upto (including) 4k >> + * screens >> + */ >> + topology.num_enc = 2; >> + topology.num_intf = 1; >> + topology.num_lm = 2; >> + } >> + >> return topology; >> } >> + >> static int dpu_encoder_virt_atomic_check( >> struct drm_encoder *drm_enc, >> struct drm_crtc_state *crtc_state, >>
