This patch adds the ability to override the typical display timing for a given panel. This is useful for devices which have timing constraints that do not apply across the entire display driver (eg: to avoid crosstalk between panel and digitizer on certain laptops). The rules are as follows: - panel must not specify fixed mode (since the override mode will either be the same as the fixed mode, or we'll be unable to check the bounds of the overried) - panel must specify at least one display_timing range which will be used to ensure the override mode fits within its bounds Changes in v2: - Parse the full display-timings node (using the native-mode) (Rob) Changes in v3: - No longer parse display-timings subnode, use panel-timing (Rob) Changes in v4: - Don't add mode from timing if override was specified (Thierry) - Add warning if timing and fixed mode was specified (Thierry) - Don't add fixed mode if timing was specified (Thierry) - Refactor/rename a bit to avoid extra indentation from "if" tests - i should be unsigned (Thierry) - Add annoying WARN_ONs for some cases (Thierry) - Simplify 'No display_timing found' handling (Thierry) - Rename to panel_simple_parse_override_mode() (Thierry) Changes in v5: - Added Heiko's Tested-by Changes in v6: - Rebased to drm-misc next - Added tags Cc: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Cc: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net> Cc: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@sntech.de> Cc: Jeffy Chen <jeffy.chen@rock-chips.com> Cc: Rob Herring <robh+dt@kernel.org> Cc: Stéphane Marchesin <marcheu@chromium.org> Cc: Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@gmail.com> Cc: devicetree@vger.kernel.org Cc: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Signed-off-by: Sean Paul <seanpaul@chromium.org> Tested-by: Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Tested-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko@sntech.de> Reviewed-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@collabora.com> Acked-by: Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190711203455.125667-2-dianders@chromium.org
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.
