[PATCH] drm/tilcdc : fixing LCD clock divisor configuration

Dear gentlemen,

My first contribution to the Linux kernel is for you !
(yes, really)

I apologize for all the mistake I can make in a one liner fix !

My hardware :
CPU : Beaglebone black, with ARM TI AM3358 processor
Display : Densitron ripdraw 7" 1024x600 HDMI

Software :
Kernel Linux 3.17
Buildroot 2014.08
Qt applications on framebuffer (no X)

Problem :
My display doesn't show anything.
In the EDID retrieved from my display, I have a pixel-clock at 43.980 MHz.

I enable debug in drm_drv.c :
unsigned int drm_debug = 1;

So in dmesg, I read :
[drm:tilcdc_crtc_update_clk] lcd_clk=87900000, mode clock=43980, div=1
[drm:tilcdc_crtc_update_clk] fck=87900000, dpll_disp_ck=87900000

As you can see, div=1. Which is an error for tilcdc.
div = 87900000 / 43980000;
Which is, in real world about = 1,998..., but unfortunately round to 1 
in software world !

with my fix, I have :
[drm:tilcdc_crtc_update_clk] lcd_clk=87900000, mode clock=43980, div=2
[drm:tilcdc_crtc_update_clk] fck=87900000, dpll_disp_ck=87900000
And my display works.

I try this with other display and see no regression.

Thanks for your attention,

Best regards,
Bruno

Subject: [PATCH] drm/tilcdc : fixing LCD clock divisor configuration

Depending of the pixel clock of the connected display and the
rounding of the system clock, the LCDC_CLK_DIVISOR part of
the LCDC_CTRL_REG register could be misconfigured.
