I was wrong, mode->flags is 0 by default if not specified, anyway this
doesn't change the problem.
It seems that that display works with H/Vsync active HIGH(Positive).
Taken from drm_modes.h:
* - DRM_MODE_FLAG_PHSYNC: horizontal sync is active high.
* - DRM_MODE_FLAG_NHSYNC: horizontal sync is active low.
* - DRM_MODE_FLAG_PVSYNC: vertical sync is active high.
* - DRM_MODE_FLAG_NVSYNC: vertical sync is active low.
Maybe Datasheet is wrong at this point, since it should work correctly with:
mode->flags = DRM_MODE_FLAG_PHSYNC | DRM_MODE_FLAG_PVSYNC
I've found other 2 Datasheet but they are equal about that:
https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/775300/Innolux/AT070TN92/1
https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/1256472/Innolux/AT070TN92-V1/1
Can you give a try changing those flags in panel-simple.c too?
I mean a try with:
mode->flags = DRM_MODE_FLAG_NHSYNC | DRM_MODE_FLAG_NVSYNC
and one with:
mode->flags = DRM_MODE_FLAG_PHSYNC | DRM_MODE_FLAG_PVSYNC
I expect it to work correctly with the last one.
Thank you
