For future reference, it look like there is a version of the BSP where this is clamped between 8 and 31 in the legacy ebios code: https://github.com/Icenowy/linux-kernel-lichee-a33/blob/master/drivers/video/sunxi/legacy/disp/de_bsp/de/ebios/de_dsi.c#L687 As well as in the A23 code: https://github.com/Icenowy/linux-kernel-lichee-a33/blob/master/drivers/video/sunxi/disp/de/lowlevel_sun8iw3/de_dsi.c#L686 > This fixes the start delay symptom we've seen on some panels (vblank > timeouts with vertical white stripes at the bottom of the panel). > > Signed-off-by: Maxime Ripard <maxime.ripard@bootlin.com> > --- > drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun6i_mipi_dsi.c | 4 +++- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun6i_mipi_dsi.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun6i_mipi_dsi.c > index 380fc527a707..9471fa695ec7 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun6i_mipi_dsi.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/sun4i/sun6i_mipi_dsi.c > @@ -357,7 +357,9 @@ static void sun6i_dsi_inst_init(struct sun6i_dsi *dsi, > static u16 sun6i_dsi_get_video_start_delay(struct sun6i_dsi *dsi, > struct drm_display_mode *mode) > { > - return mode->vtotal - (mode->vsync_end - mode->vdisplay) + 1; > + u16 start = clamp(mode->vtotal - mode->vdisplay - 10, 8, 100); > + > + return mode->vtotal - (mode->vsync_end - mode->vdisplay) + start; Looking at the formula from the BSP, I get a different result from yours. From what I can see, the BSP formula is: start_delay = vtotal - vfp + start vfp = vtotal - y - vbp With vbp counting the back porch and sync length. So the final value can be simplified: start_delay = vbp + y + start Translated to DRM: start_delay = vtotal - vsync_start + vdisplay + start Which differs from your formula by the sync length. Does this also work out for your hardware? I guess it's best to stick close to the BSP if we can. Cheers, Paul > } > > static void sun6i_dsi_setup_burst(struct sun6i_dsi *dsi,

The current calculation for the video start delay in the current DSI driver is that it is the total vertical size, minus the front porch and sync length, plus 1. This equals to the active vertical size plus the back porch plus 1. That 1 is coming in the Allwinner BSP from an variable that is set to 1. However, if we look at the Allwinner BSP more closely, and especially in the "legacy" code for the display (in drivers/video/sunxi/legacy/), we can see that this variable is actually computed from the porches and the sync minus 10, clamped between 8 and 100. This fixes the start delay symptom we've seen on some panels (vblank timeouts with vertical white stripes at the bottom of the panel).
