Some SoC's DE2 has two mixers. Defaultly the mixer0 is connected to
tcon0 and mixer1 is connected to tcon1; however by setting a bit
the connection can be swapped.

As we now hardcode the default connection, ignore the bonus endpoint for
the mixer's output and the TCON's input, as they stands for the swapped
connection.

Changes in v2:
- Change to use new endpoint reg definition.

So, I'm still not quite sure what this patch exactly is supposed to be
doing.

You mention that the routing between the mixers and tcons can be
changed, and that we need to ignore the TCON input...

... yet this is not parsing the input at all, but only the output nodes.

I have no idea what this is supposed to be doing either.

I might be wrong, but I really feel like there's a big mismatch
between your commit log, and what you actually implement.

In your commit log, you should state:

A) What is the current behaviour
B) Why that is a problem
C) How do you address it

And you don't.

However, after discussing it with Chen-Yu, it seems like you're trying
to have all the mixers probed before the TCONs. If that is so, there's
nothing specific to the H3 here, and we also have the same issue on
dual-pipeline DE1 (A10, A20, A31). Chen-Yu worked on that a bit, but
the easiest solution would be to move from a DFS algorithm to walk
down the graph to a BFS one.

That way, we would add all mixers first, then the TCONs, then the
encoders, and the component framework will probe them in order.

Yes, from the TCON perspective, the connection from
mixer0 to TCON1 and from mixer 1 to TCON0 should be
ignored. And from the mixer perspective, the connections should
also be omitted when binding in sun4i_drv.c.

Yes.

Mixers will have two output endpoints, but we will only use
the same id one and ignore the swapped one.

So does the situation of TCON input.

No. I said that they're swappable, however, I don't
want to implement the swap now, but hardcode 0-0 1-1
connection. However, as you and Chen-Yu said, device tree
should reflect the real hardware, there will be bonus endpoints
for the swapped connection.

What I want to do is to ignore the bonus connection, in order to
prevent them from confusing the code.

If you just change the bind sequence, I think it cannot be
prevented that wrong connections will be bound.

No. I said that they're swappable, however, I don't
want to implement the swap now, but hardcode 0-0 1-1
connection. However, as you and Chen-Yu said, device tree
should reflect the real hardware, there will be bonus endpoints
for the swapped connection.

What I want to do is to ignore the bonus connection, in order to
prevent them from confusing the code.

If you just change the bind sequence, I think it cannot be
prevented that wrong connections will be bound.

We're on the same page, it's definitely not what I was mentionning
here. This would require a significant rework, and the usecase is
still unclear for now.

If by bonus you mean connections from mixer 0 to tcon 1 and mixer 1 to
tcon 0, then yes, we're going to need it.

This is where I don't follow you anymore. The component framework
doesn't list connections but devices. The swapped connections do not
matter here, we have the same set of devices: mixer0, mixer1, tcon0
and tcon1.

The thing that does change with your patch is that before, the binding
sequence would have been mixer0, tcon0, tcon1, mixer1. With your
patch, it's mixer0, tcon0, mixer1, tcon1.

So, again, stating what issue you were seeing before making this patch
would be very helpful to see what you're trying to do / fix.

If I understand correctly, she wants to make sure that DT has mixer0 - tcon0 
and mixer1 - tcon1 relationship and discard mixed relationship. I also believe 
that this is just temporary measure until mixed relationship is supported by 
the driver.

Maybe we could just leave this out for now and define only one endpoint in DT 
for TVE instead of two? Vast majority of users will have 0-0 and 1-1 
relationship, since there is not much point connecting HDMI with less capable 
mixer than TVE.

Best regards,
Jernej

So maybe I can drop the forward search (searching output) code, and keep
only the backward search (search input) code in TCON?

Forward search code is only used when binding, but backward search is 
used
for TCON to find connected mixer.

yeah, but all the component stuff doesn't care about the relationships
themselves, it just cares about the set of devices, and we use those
relationships to build that set. In this case, even with the swapped
connections, the set of devices remains the same, which is what
puzzles me.

Yeah, but unfortunately, we have to have a perfect representation from
day one now...

It is hard to talk about a solution, when it's not clear what the
issue is.

(All those things are based on the assumption that mixer0, mixer1, tcon0
and tcon1 are all enabled in DT. If one group of mixer-tcon pair is 
fully
disabled in DT it will behave properly.)

For the backward search:

A) The current behaviour is to take the first engine found, which will 
be
wrong in the situation of tcon1 if mixer0 and mixer1 are both enabled:
mixer0 is taken for tcon1 instead of mixer1.

B) It takes mixer0 as it matches the first endpoint of tcon0's input.

C) It's a logic failure in the backward search, as it only considered
the DE1 situation, in which TCONs will only have one engine as input.

For the bind process:

A) The current behaviour is to try to bind all output endpoints of the
engine, during binding all outputs of mixer0, these will happen:
   1. tcon1 is bound with mixer0 as its engine if backward searching
   is not fixed.
   2. tcon1 fails to be bound as its engine is not yet bound when
   backward searching works properly, then sun4i_drv will refuse
   to continue as a component is not properly bound.
B) The binding process in sun4i_drv will bind a component that is not
really an working output of the forward component, but only exists in
the endpoint list as a theortically possible output (in fact not an
real output).
C) I tested with this patch's sun4i_drv_node_is_swappable_de2_mixer
function masked (always return false), and then the multiple
mixer+tcon situations don't work properly.

P.S. I think the BFS solution is really a dirty hack -- although we
bind components, not connections, we should decide the next component
to bind according to the connections -- not really connected
components shouldn't be bound.

For example, if we enabled mixer0, tcon0 and tcon1, tcon1 shouldn't
be bound at all. However in BFS situation tcon1 will also be bound
and then fail to be bound if the backward engine searching is fixed.

So there's a temporary workaround -- only enable one pipeline and 
disable
the unused mixer and tcon totally.

It's shown to work with this commit reverted in my local TVE branch. 
(The
swappable_input value is also deleted from H3 TCON's quirks)

That's not true. DE1's can output to several TCONs (or rather, TCONs
can select multiple engines as their input). The A31 for example is in
this case.

I think what Chen-Yu did so far is that he only enables one engine and
TCON for now. That will leave us some time to rework and improve
things gradually. It would probably be easier (and faster) for you too.

So this is the ordering issue I was mentionning earlier. The way to
fix this is to use BFS instead of DFS when building the component
list.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Isn't the tcon1 a real output for
mixer0?

This isn't really about whether you follow connections or not, in both
cases you do. It's how you follow those connections that matters, and
it does make sense to follow them stage by stage in our
pipeline. ie. something that would bind all the engines, then all the
TCONs, then all the encoders.

All of them would have connections between them.

Short term view: we shouldn't be in that case in the first place.
Long term view: there's no reason it shouldn't work.

As a short-term workaround, while we rework the code to enable both
pipelines, it definitely works for me.

Then you should fix it so it works with DE2. For DE2 it would be something
like this:

Mixer probe
-----------
You have two choices on how to get its ID: a) Look downstream to TCONs,
and get the reg value from the remote endpoint, or b) get the display-engine
node, and check the index of the phandle that points to itself (the mixer).
A is easier, and it is why I asked you to follow the connection ID rule in
the device tree binding.

TCON probe
----------
Similar to A) for the mixers, look upstream and get the reg value from the
remote endpoint.

Afterwards you would have correct IDs on both sides, then it's just a matter
of going through the list of mixers and TCONs and pairing them up.


Mixer0  0 ---- 0  TCON0
        1      1 <- This would be the remote endpoint reg value for mixer1.
         \    /
          \  /
           \/
           /\
          /  \
         /    \
        0      0 <- This would be the remote endpoint reg value for mixer0.
Mixer1  1 ---- 1  TCON1

Hope this makes things clearer.

Actually that's not true. The TCON is bound to the backend. I don't see
any controls for muxing that. So the TCON-backend search routine is very
simple for DE1. The frontends are free to feed either backend though.

My code deals with muxes between the TCON and the downstream encoders (HDMI/TV).

You need something similar to deal with the mux between the mixers and TCONs.
My code doesn't fit DE2, because the case hadn't been added yet.

Maybe I missed something? TCONs and everything before them should always
be enabled. There's no reason not to. This is especially true for TCON0
which holds the mux register on some SoCs.

About Maxime's long term view: there's no reason we can't just silently
ignore a component if its supposed companion is missing, like a TCON
missing its backend, or the other way around. The current code already
covers the latter case: since the CRTC (and by extension, all DRM/KMS
functionality related to that pipeline) is created in the TCON bind
function, if the TCON is not enabled, the backend just idles.

I think it does, look at the lower bits of TCON0_CTL_REG and
TCON1_CTL_REG in the A31 datasheet. It clearly seems used to control
from which DE you fetch your data from, and you have both options.

If we're not able to use anything connected to TCON1, disabling it
still seems like a good stop-gap measure.

It's a bit more complicated than that. TCON0 is probably mandatory,
and even if TCON1 is missing, we can entirely route around it in
hardware, and I think it's the case for all the stages in our
pipelines. There's no reason we could not operate that way.

But this is clearly something that we should aim for, not something
that needs to be done today.
