This patch looks good to me. Just want to share another information for you. Here is an example that mmsys/vdosys could point to the display interface node. vdosys0: syscon@1c01a000 { mmsys-display-interface = <&dsi0>, <&dsi1>, <&dp_intf0>; }; vdosys1: syscon@1c100000 { mmsys-display-interface = <&dp_intf1>; }; There is no conflict that mmsys/vdosys point to first component of one display pipeline or point to display interface. Both could co-exist.

The problem with a solution like this is that, well, even though it would work, even if we ignore the suboptimal partial hardcoding, OF graphs are something generic, while the mmsys-display-interface would be a MediaTek specific/custom property. In the end, reusing generic kernel apis/interfaces/etc is always preferred compared to custom solutions, especially in this case, in which the generic stuff is on-par (or actually, depending purely on personal opinions, superior). As for the two to co-exist, I'm not sure that this is actually needed, as the OF graphs are already (at the end of the graph) pointing to the display interface. In any case, just as a reminder: if there will be any need to add any custom MediaTek specific properties later, it's ok and we can do that at any time. Cheers!

The alternative solution is using OF graphs to point display interface and use MediaTek specific property to first component: vdosys0: syscon@1c01a000 { ports { port@0 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&dsi0_endpoint>; }; }; port@1 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&dsi1_endpoint>; }; }; port@2 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&dp_intf0_endpoint>; }; }; }; display-first-component = <&ovl0>; }; And I agree to it's better to keep only OF graphs property, so it would be vdosys0: syscon@1c01a000 { ports { port@0 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&dsi0_endpoint>; }; }; port@1 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&dsi1_endpoint>; }; }; port@2 { endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&dp_intf0_endpoint>; } ; }; }; }; Maybe we could use OF graphs for both first component and display interface and drop using MediaTek specific property.

I think you might be misunderstanding CK's proposal? He's simply saying that instead of pointing to the start of the pipeline, point to the end instead. You can still use the OF graph and work backwards from the output. > The problem with a solution like this is that, well, even though it would work, > even if we ignore the suboptimal partial hardcoding, OF graphs are something > generic, while the mmsys-display-interface would be a MediaTek specific/custom > property. > > In the end, reusing generic kernel apis/interfaces/etc is always preferred > compared to custom solutions, especially in this case, in which the generic > stuff is on-par (or actually, depending purely on personal opinions, superior). Here you are mixing hardware descriptions and kernel implementation details. I think this goes back to whether the mmsys/vdosys is actually part of the graph or not. It certainly controls the muxes within the graph. But that doesn't mean it has to be within the graph itself. It can just have pointers to entry points of the graph (for which you would have a couple lines of custom code [1]). If the data doesn't flow through the mmsys/vdosys, then I would argue that it is not part of the graph. I would also argue that the data path should be fully described in the device tree, not hardcoding paths based on board usage. The latter is a policy / design decision, not a hardware capability.

Though, OF Graphs are describing a "sequence of stuff" (sorry for the suboptimal wording) and, well, the data goes from A to C with B in the middle, so the graph starts at A, goes to B, then goes to C. Starting from A, going to C, then backwards to B would be actually wrong, as that appears to describe that the pipeline goes A->C->B instead of A->B->C. >> The problem with a solution like this is that, well, even though it would work, >> even if we ignore the suboptimal partial hardcoding, OF graphs are something >> generic, while the mmsys-display-interface would be a MediaTek specific/custom >> property. >> >> In the end, reusing generic kernel apis/interfaces/etc is always preferred >> compared to custom solutions, especially in this case, in which the generic >> stuff is on-par (or actually, depending purely on personal opinions, superior). > > Here you are mixing hardware descriptions and kernel implementation details. > Not really.

If the data doesn't flow through the mmsys/vdosys, then ^^^ [1] is a link I think? You missed it! :-) > I would argue that it is not part of the graph. It's part of the graph, because it is setting up the pipeline - and it's doing that in hardware, by doing the muxing as you said. I could even go on arguing that the data does actually pass through that, but I don't want to start any big deal around that, so I won't. > > I would also argue that the data path should be fully described in the > device tree, not hardcoding paths based on board usage. Yes, that's what I also said (perhaps I should've been clearer) since the very beginning, and it's exactly what made me put effort in making this series, so we are totally agreeing on this point.

Knowing that there are eventual solutions for > any need that might arise in the future is enough, IMO :-) This is one routing of display pipeline and the relation of VDOSYS0 with display pipeline. +-- VDOSYS0 ---------------------------------------------+ | | | | DRAM -> IOMMU ---> OVL0 -> RDMA0 -> ... -> DSC0 -> MERGE0 -> DP_INTF0 ----> | | | | +--------------------------------------------------------+ Video data is read by IOMMU from DRAM and send to display pipeline. Then video data travel through first component to display interface. VDOSYS0 manage each component in the pipeline include first component and display interface. The management include clock gating, reset, video data input/output routing. The relationship of VDOSYTS0 with first component is the same as the relationship of VDOSYS0 with display interface. If VDOSYS0 is not suitable using OF graph point to display interface, VDOSYS0 is also not suitable using OF graph point to first component. The job of the component in display pipeline is to process the video data, but the job of VDOSYS0 is to manage (clock gating, reset, routing) the pipeline. If the OF graph is to show the video data travel path, VDOSYS0 should not exist in the OF graph.

I mean VDOSYS0 is not suitable 'using OF graph' to point to both display interface and first component. So VDOSYS0 should use specific property to point to both display interface and first component.

I seriously don't get why you're saying that VDOSYS0 is not suitable for OF Graphs and I'm sorry but I suspect that the reason is that you don't understand the concept of what a graph defines, other than how can it be walked through by design. > So VDOSYS0 should use specific property to point to both display interface and first component. > Maybe > > vdosys0 { > dma-device = <ovl0>; > display-interface = <&dsi0>, <&dsi1>, <&dp_intf0>; > }; What you just wrote here adds custom properties for no reason - as in, there is no reason for vdosys0 to have two properties pointing one to the first component and one to all of the possible display interfaces for vdosys0. Provided a graph, that graph does express the OVL0 relationship with VDO0, and it does express the relationship between OVL0 and the final display interface -> through expressing the relationship between OVL0 and all of the middle components until reaching the actual display interface. <- Anyway, the proposed snippet either: a. Invalidates the point of this series entirely, as in, graphs in this case are implemented in order to stop hardcoding display paths for each board into the driver; or b. It is exactly the same as a graph, except with different properties and without ports and endpoints. Moreover, there is no advantage in setting all of the possible display interfaces that are connectable to VDOSYS0 in a display-interface property: from a board-specific perspective, the board cares only about the interfaces that are *available to that board*, and not about any other. If interfaces X and Y are available to a board, that board will have a graph for X and a graph for Y, so they are both perfectly described with ... graphs! ...and even though the VDO0 (or the SoC, whatever) supports interface Z, if said display interface is *not* present on the board, that interface will not be described by any graph, because it does not pertain to that board, it's unused and it's useless to describe (even though it would be possible to add it regardless of whether it's usable or not on that board). Last thing - I don't know if you have this doubt or not, but for the sake of making the stream of information complete: even dual-dsi displays can be described with a graph without any issue.

Here is my thought to make me accept this patch (I'm not sure you agree or not) dma-device and display-interface is used to point some specific device related to vdosys. OF graph is used to point to the display pipeline. Each has different meaning so each could co-exist.
