Well, I'm afraid this might be little below your expectations, but here's 
an initial RFC of the part defining just the DSI bus. I need a bit more 
time for patches for Exynos MIPI DSI master and s6e8ax0 LCD.

The implementation is very simple and heavily based on your MIPI DBI 
support and existing Exynos MIPI DSIM framework. Provided operation set is 
based on operation set used by Exynos s6e8ax0 LCD driver. Unfortunately 
this is my only source of information about MIPI DSI.

Best regards,

As per the discussion what Laurent and Tomi had (
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2012-December/032038.html),
both  DSI and DBI doesn't need to be registered as real bus. Please
refer to Tomi's pacthset for DSI support. (
git://gitorious.org/linux-omap-dss2/linux.git work/dss-dev-model-cdf )

anyways i am working on Exynos MIPI DSI as per the new CDF proposed by
Tomi and Laurent.

No worries. I was particularly interested in the DSI operations you needed to 
export, they seem pretty simple. Thank you for sharing the code.

FYI,
here is STE "DSI API":
http://www.igloocommunity.org/gitweb/?p=kernel/igloo-kernel.git;a=blob;f=include/video/mcde.h;h=499ce5cfecc9ad77593e761cdcc1624502f28432;hb=HEAD#l361

But it is not perfect. After a couple of products we realized that most 
panel drivers want an easy way to send a bunch of init commands in one 
go. So I think it should be an op for sending an array of commands at 
once. Something like

struct dsi_cmd {
     enum mipi_pkt_type type; /* MIPI DSI, DCS, SetPacketLen, ... */
     u8 cmd;
     int dataLen;
     u8 *data;
}
struct dsi_ops {
     int dsi_write(source, int num_cmds, struct dsi_cmd *cmds);
     ...
}

The rest of "DSI write API" could be made helpers on top of this one op. 
This grouping also allows driver to describe intent to send a bunch of 
commands together which might be of interest with mode set (if you need 
to synchronize a bunch of commands with a mode set, like setting smart 
panel rotation in synch with new framebuffer in dsi video mode).

I also looked at the video source in Tomi's git tree 
(http://gitorious.org/linux-omap-dss2/linux/blobs/work/dss-dev-model-cdf/include/video/display.h). 
I think I would prefer a single "setup" op taking a "struct dsi_config" 
as argument. Then each DSI formatter/encoder driver could decide best 
way to set that up. We have something similar at 
http://www.igloocommunity.org/gitweb/?p=kernel/igloo-kernel.git;a=blob;f=include/video/mcde.h;h=499ce5cfecc9ad77593e761cdcc1624502f28432;hb=HEAD#l118

And I think I still prefer the dsi_bus in favor of the abstract video 
source. It just looks like a home made bus with bus-ops ... can't you do 
something similar using the normal driver framework? enable/disable 
looks like suspend/resume, register/unregister_vid_src is like 
bus_(un)register_device, ... the video source anyway seems unattached to 
the panel stuff with the find_video_source call.

Yes, this should be flexible enough to cover most of (or even whole) DSI 
specification.

However I'm not sure whether the dsi_write name would be appropriate, 
since DSI packet types include also read and special transactions. So, 
according to DSI terminology, maybe dsi_transaction would be better?

Yes, this would be definitely better, because such configuration changes 
usually come together (i.e. display connected, which needs complete 
reconfiguration of all parameters).

DSI needs specific power management. It's necessary to power up the panel 
first to make it wait for Tinit event and then enable DSI master to 
trigger such event. Only then rest of panel initialization can be 
completed.

Also, as discussed in previous posts, some panels might use DSI only for 
video data and another interface (I2C, SPI) for control data. In such case 
it would be impossible to represent such device in a reasonable way using 
current driver model.

I think read should still be separate. At least on my HW read and write 
are quite different. But all "transactions" are very much the same in HW 
setup. The ... was dsi_write etc ;) Like set_max_packet_size should 
maybe be an ops. Since only the implementer of the "video source" will 
know what the max read return packet size for that DSI IP is. The panels 
don't know that. Maybe another ops to retrieve some info about the caps 
of the video source would help that. Then a helper could call that and 
then the dsi_write one.

I know, we have a very complex sequence for our HDMI encoder which uses 
sort of continuous DSI cmmand mode. And power/clock on sequences are 
tricky to get right in our current "CDF" API (mcde_display). But I fail 
to see how the current video source API is different from just using the 
bus/device APIs.

I understand that you need to get hold of both the control and data bus 
device in the driver. (Toshiba DSI-LVDS bridge is a good example and 
commonly used "encoder" that can use both DSI and I2C control 
interface.) But the control bus you get from device probe, and I guess 
you could call bus_find_device_by_name(dsi_bus, "mydev") and return the 
"datadev" which will have access to dsi bus ops just as you call 
find_video_source("mysource") to access the "databus" ops directly with 
a logical device (display entity).
I'm not saying I would refuse to use video sources. I just think the two 
models are so similar so it would be worth exploring how a device model 
style API would look like and to compare against.

Do you have DSI IP(s) that can handle a list of commands ? Or would all DSI 
transmitter drivers need to iterate over the commands manually ? In the later 
case a lower-level API might be easier to implement in DSI transmitter 
drivers. Helper functions could provide the higher-level API you proposed.

Or dsi_transfer or dsi_xfer ? Does the DSI bus have a concept of transactions 
?

If panels (or helper functions) need information about the DSI transmitter 
capabilities, sure, we can add an op.

The Linux driver framework is based on control busses. DSI usually handles 
both control and video transfer, but the control and data busses can also be 
separate (think DPI + SPI/I2C for instance). In that case the panel will be a 
child of its control bus master, and will need a separate interface to access 
video data operations. As a separate video interface is thus needed, I think 
we should use it for DSI as well.

My initial proposal included a DBI bus (as I don't have any DSI hardware - DBI 
and DSI can be used interchangeably in this discussions, they both share the 
caracteristic of having a common control + data bus), and panels were children 
of the DBI bus master. The DBI bus API was only used for control, not for data 
transfers. Tomi then removed the DBI bus and moved the control operations to 
the video source, turning the DBI panels into platform devices. I still favor 
my initial approach, but I can agree to drop the DBI bus if there's a 
consensus on that. Video bus operations will be separate in any case.

As mentioned above, the video source API handles video transfers, while the 
bus/device API handles control transfers. Operations such as "start the video 
stream" will thus be video source APIs. Operations such as "enable the DSI 
master", used to trigger the Tinit event (whatever that is :-)) at power up 
time would probably be DSI bus operations.

I don't think we should use the Linux device model for data busses. It hasn't 
been designed for that use case, and definitely doesn't support devices that 
would be children of two separate masters (control and data). For shared bus 
devices such as DSI, having a DSI bus was my preference to start with, as 
mentioned above :-) However, even in that case, I think it would still make 
sense to use video sources to control the video operations. As usual the devil 
is in the details, so there will probably be some tricky problems we'll need 
to solve, but that will require coding the proposed solution.

A single setup function indeed seems easier, but I don't have enough 
experience with DSI to have a strong opinion on that. We'll have to compare 
implementations if there's a disagreement on this.

The HW has a FIFO, so it can handle a few. Currently we use the low 
level type of call with one call per command. But we have found DSI 
command mode panels that don't accept any commands during the "update" 
(write start+continues). And so we must use a mutex/state machine to 
exclude any async calls to send DSI commands during update. But if you 
need to send more than one command per frame this will be hard (like 
CABC and backlight commands). It will be a ping pong between update and 
command calls. One option is to expose the mutex to the caller so it can 
make many calls before the next update grabs the mutex again.
So maybe we could create a helper that handle the op for list of 
commands and another op for single command that you actually have to 
implement.

No transactions. And I don't want to mix reads and writes. It should be 
similar to I2C and other stream control busses. So one read and one 
write should be fine. And then a bunch of helpers on top for callers to 
use, like one per major DSI packet type.

Yes, a "video source" op for getting caps would be ok too. But so far 
the only limits I have found is the read/write sizes. But if anyone else 
has other limits, please list them so we could add them to this struct 
dsi_host_caps.

As discussed at FOSDEM I will give DSI bus with full feature set a try.

BTW. Who got the action to ask Greg about devices with multiple 
parents/buses?

fyi, the DSI IP on OMAP3+ SoCs also has a FIFO. It can provide 
interrupts after each command is pushed out, and also when the FIFO gets 
empty(all commands are pushed). The only thing to take care is to not 
overflow FIFO.

DSI video mode panels generally have a few dozen internal registers 
which need to be configured via DSI commands. It's more fast(and 
convenient) to configure a handful of internal registers in one shot, 
and then perform a single BTA to know from the panel whether the 
commands were received correctly.

Please do, but as a reminder I want to raise the issues I see with a DSI
bus:

- A device can be a child of only one bus. So if DSI is used only for
video, the device is a child of, say, i2c bus, and thus there's no DSI
bus. How to configure and use DSI in this case?

- If DSI is used for both control and video, we have two separate APIs
for the bus. What I mean here is that for the video-only case above, we
need a video-only-API for DSI. This API should contain all necessary
methods to configure DSI. But we need similar methods for the control
API also.

So, I hope you come up with some solution for this, but as I see it,
it's easily the most simple and clear option to have one video_source
style entity for the DSI bus itself, which is used for both control and
video.

Thanks, it is not that I'm totally against the video source stuff. And I 
share your concerns, none of the solutions are perfect. It just doesn't 
feel right to create this dummy source "device" without investigating 
the DSI bus route. But I will try to write up some history/problem 
description and ask Greg KH for guidance. If he has a strong opinion 
either way, there is not much more to discuss ;)
