DRM bridges are not visible to the userspace and it may not be immediately clear if the chain is somehow constructed incorrectly. I have had two separate instances of a bridge driver failing to do a drm_bridge_attach() call, resulting in the bridge connector not being part of the chain. In some situations this doesn't seem to cause issues, but it will if DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag is used. Add a debugfs file to print the bridge chains. For me, on this TI AM62 based platform, I get the following output: encoder[39] bridge[0] type: 0, ops: 0x0 bridge[1] type: 0, ops: 0x0, OF: /bus@f0000/i2c@20000000/dsi@e:toshiba,tc358778 bridge[2] type: 0, ops: 0x3, OF: /bus@f0000/i2c@20010000/hdmi@48:lontium,lt8912b bridge[3] type: 11, ops: 0x7, OF: /hdmi-connector:hdmi-connector Tested-by: Alexander Stein <alexander.stein@ew.tq-group.com> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart+renesas@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@ideasonboard.com> Acked-by: Neil Armstrong <neil.armstrong@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Neil Armstrong <neil.armstrong@linaro.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230802-drm-bridge-chain-debugfs-v4-1-7e3ae3d137c0@ideasonboard.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
