It seems to me like the bus_flags/format should be specific to each link in the display output chain, rather than global to it.

The usecase is that either a panel or a dumb VGA bridge is used (not both, luckily). On *some* dumb VGA bridges, the polarity of the clock signal is inverted, i.e. it expects data to be clocked out on the negative edge rather than the positive edge. See: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-September/151603.html And the PL111 can control this in software, that is why it is inspecting the flags on the connector to figure out when to clock things out. It seems logical to check the connector to figure out what clock edge it wants? > Wrt the more general problem: They way we solve this in the i915 atomic > framework is that the various ->fixup calls fill out relevant fields in > the drm_crtc_state.

I do need fixups to mask some modes off the PL111 but that would be on the driver side. Yours, Linus Walleij

Hm as it is I am trying to adopt to circumstances, so I was just asked to replace the custom connector with the generic panel bridge. (bridge/panel.c) Then we get the connector out of the generic panel bridge by just dereferencing panel->connector, this is what the PL111 driver is already doing for panels since its inception. Maybe that is wrong, I don't know :/ But like Eric says, the core problem is that the display driver say enable function needs to know the flags of what it should output. This driver looks at connector->display_info.bus_flags & DRM_BUS_FLAG_DE_LOW connector->display_info.bus_flags & DRM_BUS_FLAG_PIXDATA_NEGEDGE So the bus flags really need to be available somehow. I am doing it by keeping a local reference to the connector in the driver state container. I tried to dereference the connector from from the pipe at one point, passing NULL to but it didn't work out, it seems like struct drm_simple_display_pipe_funcs .enable() is called before attaching the connector or something but I guess I should look closer.

It's optional particularly for the bridge case. From docs: * If a connector is supplied, the pipe will be coupled with the provided * connector.

Yup, this was the flip side of the work to make bridges useful for the simple pipe helpers. The other one is the helper to set up the bridge I mentioned earlier in this thread. -Daniel

Yeah that might be the even more general option, to have a drm_bridge_state for this stuff. Thanks to the driver private state support recently added you can add state pointers for any void * (and with a bit of glue even set up type-safe duplicate/get/for_each wrappers). But I'm not clear whether we really need that much generality or not. Currently it's used for the intel shared dpll stuff and the dp mst state, in case someone needs to dig for examples. -Daniel
