The TDA1997x (HDMI receiver) driver currently uses a specific video
format detection scheme. The frame (or field in interlaced mode), line
and HSync pulse durations are compared to those of known, standard video
modes. If a match is found, the mode is assumed to be detected,
otherwise -ERANGE is returned (then possibly ignored). This means that:
- another mode with similar timings will be detected incorrectly
  (e.g. 2x faster clock and lines twice as long)
- non-standard modes will not work.

I propose to replace this scheme with a direct read of geometry
registers. This way all modes recognized by the chip will be supported.

How does this change look like from the user's perspective?

Signal Timings: 568630/525/9

Note the differences. The original code uses values in
v4l2_dv_timings_presets[], while with the patch it reads the data from
the chip. Thus 108000000 Hz changes into (this time) 107998200 Hz.

Also, the flags. This is HDMI receiver, so I don't exactly think H and V
sync signals have any polarity (they are symbols embedded in the HDMI
stream).
I don't know if the "VESA Discrete Monitor Timings" (DMT) flag makes any
difference.

The code assumes the V sync signal has the same duration for both
fields. While this may be not necessarily true, I can't see any way to
get the "other" V sync width. This is most probably harmless.

I have checked the register values in interlaced mode, but currently
can't test such a setup (I only have remote access to a device working
in interlaced mode). Perhaps this will change in time.

All tests have been performed on Gateworks' Ventana GW54xx board, with
a TDA19971 chip.

This check isn't necessary, timings is never NULL.

This is all very good. But one more step is needed:

	v4l2_find_dv_timings_cap(timings, &tda1997x_dv_timings_cap,
				 timings->bt.pixelclock / 1000,
				 NULL, NULL);

This will find matching timings in the presets as long as they don't differ
by more that 1/1000th of the pixelclock (to allow for natural variations since
clocks are never precise). If found, it will update the timing to the of the
preset. It's really what you want, since knowing that a timing is a CEA timing
or DMT etc. can be useful for userspace.

If there is no match, then the measured timings are just passed on to userspace.

Well, the tda1997x_irq_sus() does this:

	if (debug)
		tda1997x_detect_std(state, NULL);

Perhaps there is a better way, but I think I will leave it for now.
Also there is the issue of ignoring tda1997x_detect_std() return value,
but I can now see it's only a case in tda1997x_query_dv_timings(), easy
to fix.

Will post an update shortly.

Thanks for your comments,

Ah, I missed that. Then you can keep that check.

Hans,

I have a problem with matching H/V sync polarities. It appears the
standard modes use different polarity settings, and HDMI doesn't have
separate sync lines, it uses in-band signaling. I don't know what
polarity should I set for the v4l2_find_dv_timings_cap() ->
v4l2_match_dv_timings() to succeed.

1. I can try all 4 combinations (+/+, +/-, -/+, -/-) and see if there is
a match. Seems weird to me.

2. I can add a flag to v4l2_find_dv_timings_cap() ->
v4l2_match_dv_timings() which asks for the polarities to be ignored.

3. I could add
 #define V4L2_DV_VSYNC_POS_POL   0x00000001
 #define V4L2_DV_HSYNC_POS_POL   0x00000002
+#define V4L2_DV_VSYNC_ANY_POL   0x00000004
+#define V4L2_DV_HSYNC_ANY_POL   0x00000008

and v4l2_match_dv_timings() would skip comparing them. A bit hacky.

4. I could also add
 #define V4L2_DV_VSYNC_POS_POL   0x00000001
 #define V4L2_DV_HSYNC_POS_POL   0x00000002
+#define V4L2_DV_VSYNC_NEG_POL   0x00000004
+#define V4L2_DV_HSYNC_NEG_POL   0x00000008

and, likewise, v4l2_match_dv_timings() would know what to do. This is
IMHO cleaner but requires much more changes in other code (like
drivers).

Any other idea?
Perhaps I should do "2"?

Thanks,

Also, I have spotted an interesting loop condition in
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-dv-timings.c (dated 2013,
d1c65ad6a44b0ff79d2f0bf726fa6fd9248991f4).
It obviously works (unless the table grows to 600+ entries), but I guess
I should make it "standard", shouldn't I?

The first case is pretty normal:

Thanks for catching this!

I've posted a patch fixing it. Luckily it never broke anything, but it definitely
had to be fixed.

The tda1997x doesn't have any method of obtaining the sync polarities?

HSync and VSync are, as you say, using in-band signaling, but the 'polarity'
still matters when it comes to detecting timings. All HDMI receivers I have
ever seen have a register that reports the polarities. I find it *very* hard
to imagine that this device doesn't support that.

Do you have a datasheet for this device?

If there really is no register that reports the polarities, then option 2 is
the best approach. There are other reasons why you might want to ignore the
polarities: not all video sources use the correct polarities.

What I think would be best is to make a flags argument that allows the
match code to skip certain tests:

#define V4L2_DV_TIM_IGNORE_POLARITIES	BIT(0)
#define V4L2_DV_TIM_IGNORE_HPORCHES	BIT(1)
#define V4L2_DV_TIM_IGNORE_VPORCHES	BIT(2)
#define V4L2_DV_TIM_IGNORE_HSYNC	BIT(3)
#define V4L2_DV_TIM_IGNORE_VSYNC	BIT(4)

IGNORE_HPORCHES would just check hsync and total horizontal blanking,
IGNORE_HSYNC would just check total horizontal blanking.
IGNORE_HSYNC implies IGNORE_HPORCHES.

	Hans

I didn't know that HDMI serializers send the logical levels of those
lines, I thought some frame/field/line start/end codes are sent instead.
I will have to have a closer look at this chip, then.

> Do you have a datasheet for this device?

No, there is only the current driver and also the old one (in Gateworks'
Freescale/NXP kernel). Tim may have something perhaps under NDA, maaybe.

I will see if I can find these bits in the registers.

Thanks.
