Nit: adjust_pclk_for_compression

As discussed before we realized that this change is more-or-less a hack,
since downstream calculates pclk quite differently - at least for
command-mode panels.  Do you still intend to land this patch this way,
or go the proper route by introducing the right math from the get-go?
Or is the math at least correct for video-mode panels?

This function requires a documentation comment to explain that all.

This sounds like a prime candidate for msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line(), if
bits_per_component==8 is assumed.  In fact, it then becomes identical
to the following line in dsi_host.c which you added previously:

	hdisplay = DIV_ROUND_UP(msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line(msm_host->dsc), 3);

If not, what is the difference between these two calculations?  Maybe
they both need to be in a properly-named helper.

> +			dsc->bits_per_component * 3);

As we established in the drm/msm issue [2] there is currently a
confusion whether this /3 (and the /3 in dsi_timing_setup) come from the
ratio between dsi_get_bpp() and dsc->bpp or something else.  Can you
clarify that with constants and comments?

As clarified in [1] I was not necessarily suggesting to move this math
to a separate helper, but to also use a few more properly-named
intermediate variables to not have multi-line math and self-documenting
code.  These lines could be split to be much more clear.

The confusion with this comment (and the reason the aforementioned
discussion [2] carried on so long) stems from the fact a division makes
sense for a bit/byte clock, but not for a pixel clock: we still intend
to send the same number of pixels, just spending less bytes on them.  So
as you clarify the /3 above, can you also clarify that here or drop this
comment completely when the function is correctly documented instead?

Sorry but can you please clarify what exactly is incorrect or different 
about this math when compared to downstream? And, if you think that this 
math is incorrect, what exactly has to be changed to make it the "right 
math"?

We've already shown step-by-step [1] not only how the resulting pclk 
from the downstream code matches out upstream calculations, but also how 
the inclusion of porches in the upstream math would make up for the fact 
that upstream has no concept of transfer time [2].

If the lack of transfer time in the upstream math is the issue, I 
believe that that's not within the scope of this series, as transfer 
time is not something specific to DSC.

Moreover, as stated in an earlier revision [3], there is no way to 
validate DSC over DSI for video mode. As far as I know, we do not have a 
way to validate video mode datapath for DSI in general.

While the math technically matches up (assuming, also, that 
mode->hdisplay == slice_width * slice_count for all cases), there are 
conceptual differences between the pclk and hdisplay calculations.

Just to reiterate what was already said on IRC:

In the pclk calculation, we're multiplying pclk by the compression ratio 
(which would be target_bpp / src_bpp) -- please note that here, we 
calculate src_bpp by doing bpc * 3.

In the hdisplay calculation, we calculate the bytes per line and divide 
by 3 (bytes) to account for the fact that we can only process 3 bytes 
per pclk cycle.

So while I understand why you would want to put this behind a shared 
helper, I think abstracting the pclk and hdisplay math away would 
obfuscate the conceptual difference between the 2 calculations.

Sure, we are planning to add a patch to the end of this series 
documenting the math.

Agree with Jessica, just calling the math a hack without explaining why 
you think it is so is not justified especially when a great detail of 
explanation was given on the bug. Sorry but its a bit harsh on the 
developers.

Can we please postpone the cmd-vs-video discussion? Otherwise I will 
reserve myself a right to push a patch dropping CMD mode support until 
somebody comes with a proper way to handle CMD clock calculation.


It is off-topic for the sake of DSC 1.2 support. Yes, all CMD panel 
timings are a kind of a hack and should be improved. No, we can not do 
this as a part of this series. I think everybody agrees that with the 
current way of calculating CMD panel timings, this function does some 
kind of a trick.

This would imply a simple /3, but as far as I understand it is not 
correct here.

I hope to see a documentation patch to be posted, telling that this 
scales hdisplay and thus pclk by the factor of compressed_bpp / 
uncompressed_bpp.

This is not how it is usually done, but I would accept a separate 
documentation patch going over the calculation here and in 
dsi_timing_setup (and maybe other unobvious cases, if there is anything 
left).

I think it's fine more or less. One pair of parenthesis is unnecessary, 
but that's mostly it. Maybe `new_htotal' variable would make some sense.

Also, please excuse me if this was discussed somewhere. This calculation 
means that only the displayed data is compressed, but porches are not 
touched. Correct?

Looking for the perfection, I'd also move the pclk adjustment to come 
before the is_bonded_dsi check.

Hi Dmitry,

Correct, we will apply the compression ratio to only the hdisplay but 
keep the porches as is.

We discussed this in detail so I'm not quite sure why that suddenly

If you had read Jessica's reply (and the discussions thus far) this
patch is intended for CMD-mode:

    Moreover, as stated in an earlier revision [3], there is no way to
    validate DSC over DSI for video mode. As far as I know, we do not
    have a way to validate video mode datapath for DSI in general.

Hence my hopefully-relevant question whether this workaround - to reduce
the hdisplay portion that comprises the full pclk signal - is at the
very least right for video mode?  After all, CMD mode doesn't have
porches so it makes no sense to account for those (except that it
currently pretends to represent the "transfer time").

Furthermore there is *zero* documentation describing this workaround,
not even in v6.

Please do.  That should force me or someone else to submit the right
calculations instead of repeatedly getting stuck in this loop of
complaints and incomprehensible patches with no fix in sight.

I understand that you want to be pragrmatic about this situation, but it
seems wrong to build new math on top of fundamentally broken values.  If
there's one thing I learned while contributing to mainline here, it is
that sometimes things are fundamentally broken and you cannot
ship/contribute a shiny new feature before first fixing the
fundamentals.  What makes this different?

If you read Jessica's comment on that duplicate line in v6, that is
exactly what is happening:

    * hdisplay will be divided by 3 here to account for the fact
    * that DPU sends 3 bytes per pclk cycle to DSI.

That comment acknowledges that it is the same: but why isn't this?  Why
is bits_per_component (number of bits per pixel component _in the source
picture_) suddenly introduced in this pclk calculation while it is not
used anywhere else?

How is this different from dsi_get_bpp()?

I'd love to see additional documentation for existing logic, but the
next revision of this patch could atomically add these comments while
adding the logic (seems to not have been done for v6...)?

Porches don't exist in CMDmode (but they do in mainline, because
transfer time is not calculated yet).  For video mode I don't know.

But it doesn't match, unless one hardcodes the desired clock (and/or
tranfer_time calculations) in a panel driver and uses that to come up
with artificial porches in the DRM mode.

Yes, that is the issue, and there is zero documentation in this patch
describing that it is currently a workaround to rescale the hdisplay
portion.

After all, when there are no porches pretending to make up for the lack
of transfer time, this code will be obsolete.

It was just a question wheter a calculation of this form is correct for
video mode, where porches are used and not - afaik - tranfer time?

Your comment in v6 explains that hdisplay is divided by 3 because "DPU
sends 3 bytes per pclk cycle to DSI".  That inherently describes **a
relation between hdisplay and pclk** so why is the math then different?
After all, pclk is calculated based on the number of bytes (after DSC
compression) that need to be sent from DPU to DSI... and that has
nothing to do with the number of source bytes.

Note that the original hdisplay neither has any notion of bytes: it is
the _number of horizontal pixels_.

That difference is still unclear, FWIW.

And bits_per_component hasn't been used before yet... It is the number
of bits in the original image, so this could just be dsi_get_bpp() as
used elsewhere?

Why can't you - at least for the new math introduced right here -
document it right from the get-go?  Having a separate patch to add it
seems extraneous; though extra documentation for existing code is always
welcome.
