[RFC PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: display: Convert common panel bindings to DT schema

Rob Herring robh at kernel.org
Wed Jun 19 21:51:53 UTC 2019


Convert the common panel bindings to DT schema consolidating scattered
definitions to a single schema file.

The 'simple-panel' binding just a collection of properties and not a
complete binding itself. All of the 'simple-panel' properties are
covered by the panel-common.txt binding with the exception of the
'no-hpd' property, so add that to the schema.

As there are lots of references to simple-panel.txt, just keep the file
with a reference to panel-common.yaml for now until all the bindings are
converted.

Note there's still some references to panel-common.txt that I need to 
update or just go ahead and convert to schema.

-Common Properties for Display Panel
-===================================
-
-This document defines device tree properties common to several classes of
-display panels. It doesn't constitue a device tree binding specification by
-itself but is meant to be referenced by device tree bindings.
-
-When referenced from panel device tree bindings the properties defined in this
-document are defined as follows. The panel device tree bindings are
-responsible for defining whether each property is required or optional.
-
-
-Descriptive Properties
-----------------------
-
-- width-mm,
-- height-mm: The width-mm and height-mm specify the width and height of the
-  physical area where images are displayed. These properties are expressed in
-  millimeters and rounded to the closest unit.
-
-- label: The label property specifies a symbolic name for the panel as a
-  string suitable for use by humans. It typically contains a name inscribed on
-  the system (e.g. as an affixed label) or specified in the system's
-  documentation (e.g. in the user's manual).
-
-  If no such name exists, and unless the property is mandatory according to
-  device tree bindings, it shall rather be omitted than constructed of
-  non-descriptive information. For instance an LCD panel in a system that
-  contains a single panel shall not be labelled "LCD" if that name is not
-  inscribed on the system or used in a descriptive fashion in system
-  documentation.
-
-
-Display Timings
----------------
-
-- panel-timing: Most display panels are restricted to a single resolution and
-  require specific display timings. The panel-timing subnode expresses those
-  timings as specified in the timing subnode section of the display timing
-  bindings defined in
-  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/display-timing.txt.
-
-
-Connectivity
-------------
-
-- ports: Panels receive video data through one or multiple connections. While
-  the nature of those connections is specific to the panel type, the
-  connectivity is expressed in a standard fashion using ports as specified in
-  the device graph bindings defined in
-  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt.
-
-- ddc-i2c-bus: Some panels expose EDID information through an I2C-compatible
-  bus such as DDC2 or E-DDC. For such panels the ddc-i2c-bus contains a
-  phandle to the system I2C controller connected to that bus.
-
-
-Control I/Os
-------------
-
-Many display panels can be controlled through pins driven by GPIOs. The nature
-and timing of those control signals are device-specific and left for panel
-device tree bindings to specify. The following GPIO specifiers can however be
-used for panels that implement compatible control signals.
-
-- enable-gpios: Specifier for a GPIO connected to the panel enable control
-  signal. The enable signal is active high and enables operation of the panel.
-  This property can also be used for panels implementing an active low power
-  down signal, which is a negated version of the enable signal. Active low
-  enable signals (or active high power down signals) can be supported by
-  inverting the GPIO specifier polarity flag.
-
-  Note that the enable signal control panel operation only and must not be
-  confused with a backlight enable signal.
-
-- reset-gpios: Specifier for a GPIO coonnected to the panel reset control
-  signal. The reset signal is active low and resets the panel internal logic
-  while active. Active high reset signals can be supported by inverting the
-  GPIO specifier polarity flag.
-
-Power
------
-
-- power-supply: display panels require power to be supplied. While several
-  panels need more than one power supply with panel-specific constraints
-  governing the order and timings of the power supplies, in many cases a single
-  power supply is sufficient, either because the panel has a single power rail,
-  or because all its power rails can be driven by the same supply. In that case
-  the power-supply property specifies the supply powering the panel as a phandle
-  to a regulator.
-
-Backlight
----------
-
-Most display panels include a backlight. Some of them also include a backlight
-controller exposed through a control bus such as I2C or DSI. Others expose
-backlight control through GPIO, PWM or other signals connected to an external
-backlight controller.
-
-- backlight: For panels whose backlight is controlled by an external backlight
-  controller, this property contains a phandle that references the controller.
