Thanks, the following one makes the display to work again:

Thanks for finding this. It's a bit peculiar why this is happening. The 
DISPC_DIVISOR is a shadow register for sure.

I don't know much about SDI, but it looks like the SDI PLL needs the 
free running pixel clock from the LCD manager. To achieve this, we set 
PCKFREEENABLE. The thing I don't understand is that whether the free 
running pixel clock at this point would be derived out of the old LCD 
and PCD values, or the new ones? It should have been old since LCD and 
PCD are shadowed registers.

In other words, I am suspecting that the field PCKFREEENABLE does a copy 
of the LCD and PCD dividers from the shadow registers to the working 
registers.

The regdump shows that there were issues in SDI initialization.

Tomi,

Any ideas about this?

No real ideas. I think adding the line above, and a big HACK comment
above it, is ok for the time being. It's quite simple hack and shouldn't
cause any problems anywhere.

Aaro, if you have spare time, you could test and move the call to
dispc_mgr_set_clock_div later, and see where calling it stops fixing the
issue. 

My guess is that calling it after dss_sdi_init() will still work, but
calling it after dss_sdi_enable() does not work. And most likely inside
dss_sdi_enable() it won't work if placed after dispc_pck_free_enable().

Will you be sending a patch (i.e. the HACK mentioned above) to fix this
during the 3.6-rc cycle?

You are right that dss_sdi_enable() is the critical function. According
to my tests, the exact breaking point is the

	/* Waiting for PLL to lock */

loop. If dispc_mgr_set_clock_div() is called before it works, but if I
put it after the loop the display fails to work.

Yes, I'll queue it up.

That's interesting. I think that basically tells us that the shadow
register mechanism is somehow bypassed for pck-free. And if so, then the
above hack is not really a hack at all, but something required.
