[PATCH v4 1/5] drm/dp: Add AUX channel infrastructure

Tue Jan 21 11:24:19 PST 2014


This is a superset of the current i2c_dp_aux bus functionality and can
be used to transfer native AUX in addition to I2C-over-AUX messages.

Helpers are provided to read and write the DPCD, either blockwise or
byte-wise. Many of the existing helpers for DisplayPort take a copy of a
portion of the DPCD and operate on that, without a way to write data
back to the DPCD (e.g. for configuration of the link).

Subsequent patches will build upon this infrastructure to provide common
functionality in a generic way.

Changes in v4:
- fix a typo in a comment

Changes in v3:
- reorder drm_dp_dpcd_writeb() arguments to be more intuitive
- return number of bytes transferred in drm_dp_dpcd_write()
- factor out drm_dp_dpcd_access()
- describe error codes

+ * The DisplayPort AUX channel is an abstraction to allow generic, driver-
+ * independent access to AUX functionality. Drivers can take advantage of
+ * this by filling in the fields of the drm_dp_aux structure.
+ *
+ * The .transfer() function is the hardware-specific implementation of how
+ * a transaction is executed on the AUX channel. A pointer to a struct
+ * drm_dp_aux_msg describing the transaction is passed into this function.
+ * Upon success, the implementation should return the number of bytes that
+ * were transferred, or a negative error-code on failure. Helpers propagate
+ * errors from the .transfer() function, with the exception of the -EBUSY
+ * error, which causes a transaction to be retried.
+ *
+ * The .dev field should be set to a pointer to the device that implements
+ * the AUX channel.
