First, for MIPI command mode, hactive and vactive are only required.
Sorry Andrzej for confusing reply.
I have to modify exynos fimd pixel clock calculating function.
Second, for generic MIPI command mode timing support, commandmode.c and
of_commandmode.c are required in drivers/video.
And the struct drm_panel_command_mode_timings should be moved into
commandmode.h as struct commandmode.
And the last(this is important and I need your ideas), adds this command
mode timings into struct display_timing.
From hierarchical aspects, display_timing(s) should contain command
mode timings too, but it only contains video mode timings.
If I do it, current video mode relevant DTs will be broken.
So IMHO it is required to rename of_*_display_timing() as
of_*_videomode_timing() and add of_*_commandmode_timing() into
of_display_timing.c.
And should add command mode timings into DT like display-timings-command
to distinguish it from display-timings(for videomode).
What do you think about it?
Thank you.
