Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Given that both the ADF code and the i915 driver until now have been using
assert on prepare and deassert on unprepare I'm inclined to believe that
the spec is wrong. Is the spec available somewhere public ?

Also if you look at the v1 sequences with the new names:

	MIPI_SEQ_DEASSERT_RESET,
  	MIPI_SEQ_INIT_OTP,
  	MIPI_SEQ_DISPLAY_ON,
  	MIPI_SEQ_DISPLAY_OFF,
	MIPI_SEQ_ASSERT_RESET,

Then they are exactly in the order as one would call them on
enable, followed by disable, which I believe is not a coincidence.

Sure I can do that, what would be the easiest way (both for me to
produce and for you to consume) to do this ?

While developing this set, I've added printk calls to the code executing the
sequences, there are 2 gpios involved nr 60 (backlight enable AFAICT, also used
by the BACKLIGHT sequences) and 72 (reset / panel_enable ?).
When efifb is up both are 1 / high.

With the OLD naming, MIPI_SEQ_ASSERT_RESET does:

gpio 72 high
delay
gpio 72 low
delay
gpio 72 high

And DEASSERT does:

gpio 72 low
gpio 60 low

So with the old naming DEASSERT leaves the panel disabled / in reset and
the backlight disabled, which is exactly what we do not want...

I guess it would be good if someone could check if my patch helps
or not on other tablets which use these sequences.

Regards,

Hans


p.s.

I'm also trying to come up with some patches which properly
integrate pwm-lpss with the i915 driver instead of it
throwing a "Failed to own the pwm chip" error. But as soon
as I hook up things so that pwm_get() returns the pwm-lpss
pwm0 I hit:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97330

I get the same pipe-a stuck (or not seeing vblank irqs?)
problems sometimes without the pwm-lpss driver in the loop
but then only sometimes and with pwm-lpss I get this
problem when loading the i915 driver most of the time
(but not all the time).

I've been debugging this a couple of evenings in a row
now (*) but no luck so far before I fixed the gpio and
assert/deassert swapping I had commented out the
chv_exec_gpio call otherwise the screen would go off
and never come back, with that call commented I was
seeing the same issue.

I was hoping that properly resetting the screen when
fbcon does its disable / re-enable dance would fix this,
but it does not :|  Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

*) This series is one result of this, I also have some
designware i2c pmic mux fixes I need to post
