The dw-mipi-dsi and msm DSI host controller bridge drivers are currently relying on mode_set as a convenient hook to power up the DSI host prior to pre_enable of the bridge chain. Removing it is therefore going to break those. There is a proposed mechanism to allow for the removal of this hack [1], but it's still waiting on R-B tags and/or discussion from bridge maintainers (gentle nudge as you are one of those maintainers). And do you mean merge with atomic_enable, or merge with atomic_pre_enable? atomic_pre_enable would be more applicable for almost all the bridges I'm aware of as they want to be configured before video starts.

I have over time gained some knowledge of how bridges works and have applied a few patches - but the maintainer role belongs to others. I just try to help a bit. I will review the referenced series - could you then in return review this series? > > And do you mean merge with atomic_enable, or merge with > atomic_pre_enable? atomic_pre_enable would be more applicable for > almost all the bridges I'm aware of as they want to be configured > before video starts. Thanks, yes you are right. I will update the text to refer to pre_enable as this is often the right choice. Looking at how many bridges who implements mode_set, or are not yet atomic, this will take a while before we can drop it. Sam

Apologies, I'd misread the text in this patch +Contact: bridge maintainers, Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>, + Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> as being that you and Laurent were the bridge maintainers.

As to timescales, it always takes longer than ideal to migrate older drivers. Thanks Dave
