Just want to ask why this comment couldn't be added in patch 5/6 immediately when the logic is introduced? Now readers won't have a clue what is going on until they skip one patch ahead. Furthermore it is lacking any explanation that this is a workaround for cmd-mode, and that porches are currently used to represent "transfer time" until those calculations are implemented. At that point there is no concept of "not adjusting porches for compressed signals" anymore. > > @@ -961,6 +968,9 @@ static void dsi_timing_setup(struct msm_dsi_host *msm_host, bool is_bonded_dsi) > > /* Divide the display by 3 but keep back/font porch and > * pulse width same > + * > + * hdisplay will be divided by 3 here to account for the fact > + * that DPU sends 3 bytes per pclk cycle to DSI. > */ > h_total -= hdisplay; > hdisplay = DIV_ROUND_UP(msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line(msm_host->dsc), 3); Still very glad to have this, thank you for adding it.

If we explain that this is specific to command mode, what would the panel drivers fill out for porches . Obviously they cannot fill out a 0. Coming to transfer time. Even if current panel drivers use 0 porches, the clock you get should still be sufficient for 60fps or a transfer time of 16.66ms. Transfer time was a concept introduced for some specific command mode panels where we needed to finish transferring the frame even faster than 16.66ms like 12ms or 13ms. Yes, without that, upstream and downstream math doesnt match. But that doesnt mean its going to break the panels or that upstream math is wrong. If you think command mode porches should be 0, then this will give you the clk for 60fps. If you add some random porches, it will just give a faster clock. Porches can be used instead of transfer time till we add that math but again, thats only needed for panels which need a faster transfer time than 16.66ms. So we dont need to call this a workaround in my opinion at all (and hack as you called in v5 is totally out of proportion). One could even argue that if the panel needs a transfer time faster than 16.66ms, then the mode->clock should also be bumped up. Panels dont do that today either. Hence, I am going to consider transfer time as an enhancement and not going to take that up in this series so I am not for adding that comment here. And as I have explained, this patch is not a workaround either. Its just calculating the clock based on what we have today in the panel drivers. >> >> @@ -961,6 +968,9 @@ static void dsi_timing_setup(struct msm_dsi_host *msm_host, bool is_bonded_dsi) >> >> /* Divide the display by 3 but keep back/font porch and >> * pulse width same >> + * >> + * hdisplay will be divided by 3 here to account for the fact >> + * that DPU sends 3 bytes per pclk cycle to DSI. >> */ >> h_total -= hdisplay; >> hdisplay = DIV_ROUND_UP(msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line(msm_host->dsc), 3); > > Still very glad to have this, thank you for adding it.

Just saying that it doesn't make much sense from a "reading the patches after they've been merged" point of view, maybe there was a misunderstanding here that Dmitry would have been okay with a followup patch if the pclk patch got merged... But since it didn't, I would at least prefer that to be squashed (but I am not the maintainer, so you'll obviously take that with a grain of salt). > > Furthermore it is lacking any explanation that this is a workaround for > > cmd-mode, and that porches are currently used to represent "transfer > > time" until those calculations are implemented.

That probably explains why, for the same sofef01 Driver-IC for example, but with slight variations in panels (and SoC...), I was able to achieve 60Hz on the Xperia 10 II with 0-porches, yet the Xperia 5 (and 10 III?) require quite a bit more "pclk" to reach 60Hz. (I don't think 10 III ever achieved 60Hz, but the clocktree and/or panel cmds might be wrong) > Yes, without that, upstream and downstream math doesnt match.

And exactly this little bit of text is what I'd like to see in a comment :) > Porches can be used instead of transfer time till we add that math but > again, thats only needed for panels which need a faster transfer time > than 16.66ms. Same here, why can't we have this in a code comment? > So we dont need to call this a workaround in my opinion at all (and hack > as you called in v5 is totally out of proportion). Don't get me wrong, it is still a hack to only scale the hdisplay portion without ever explaining in any comment why the porches are not taken into account (the explanation you gave above is perfect!), instead of calculating the right pclk from the get-go and ignoring the DRM mode clock altogether. > One could even argue that if the panel needs a transfer time faster than > 16.66ms, then the mode->clock should also be bumped up. Panels dont do > that today either. But we cannot easily bump the `clock` member as that'd break the value returned by drm_mode_vrefresh(), unless we also come up with a fake porch in htotal or vtotal as that is what it will be divided by. This ties into a recent discussion where "someone" mentioned that DRM isn't really designed with CMD mode panels, in mind... and perhaps my observations here are just scratching the surface? > Hence, I am going to consider transfer time as an enhancement and not > going to take that up in this series so I am not for adding that comment > here. No need to add a TODO stating that it needs to be added, but it'd be good to at the very least explain ***why*** only the hdisplay portion is scaled and not everything else? > And as I have explained, this patch is not a workaround either. Its just > calculating the clock based on what we have today in the panel drivers. Agree to disagree? Beyond sending my take on these two patches as an RFC, I don't think there's a point discussing this much furter as we seem to disagree and misunderstand eachother on a fundamental level. And we haven't even gotten into the "src_bpp / target_bpp" versus "24 bits per pclk" details yet. - Marijn > >> @@ -961,6 +968,9 @@ static void dsi_timing_setup(struct msm_dsi_host *msm_host, bool is_bonded_dsi) > >> > >> /* Divide the display by 3 but keep back/font porch and > >> * pulse width same > >> + * > >> + * hdisplay will be divided by 3 here to account for the fact > >> + * that DPU sends 3 bytes per pclk cycle to DSI. > >> */ > >> h_total -= hdisplay; > >> hdisplay = DIV_ROUND_UP(msm_dsc_get_bytes_per_line(msm_host->dsc), 3); > > > > Still very glad to have this, thank you for adding it.
