+Himax HX8369A WVGA 16.7M color TFT single chip driver with internal GRAM
+
+Himax HX8369A is a WVGA resolution driving controller.
+It is designed to provide a single chip solution that combines a source
+driver and power supply circuits to drive a TFT dot matrix LCD with
+480RGBx864 dots at the maximum.
+
+The HX8369A supports several interface modes, including MPU MIPI DBI Type
+A/B mode, MIPI DPI/DBI Type C mode, MIPI DSI video mode, MIPI DSI command
+mode and MDDI mode. The interface mode is selected by the external hardware
+pins BS[3:0].
+
+Currently, only the MIPI DSI video mode is supported.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: "himax,hx8369a-dsi"
+ - reg: the virtual channel number of a DSI peripheral
+ - reset-gpios: a GPIO spec for the reset pin
+ - data-lanes: the data lane number of a DSI peripheral

This is implied by the compatible already.

Accepted.


+ - display-timings: timings for the connected panel as described by [1]

Also implied by the compatible value.

Accepted.


+ - bs: the interface mode number described by the following table
+ --------------------------
+ | DBI_TYPE_A_8BIT | 0 |
+ | DBI_TYPE_A_9BIT | 1 |
+ | DBI_TYPE_A_16BIT | 2 |
+ | DBI_TYPE_A_18BIT | 3 |
+ | DBI_TYPE_B_8BIT | 4 |
+ | DBI_TYPE_B_9BIT | 5 |
+ | DBI_TYPE_B_16BIT | 6 |
+ | DBI_TYPE_B_18BIT | 7 |
+ | DSI_CMD_MODE | 8 |
+ | DBI_TYPE_B_24BIT | 9 |
+ | DSI_VIDEO_MODE | 10 |
+ | MDDI | 11 |
+ | DPI_DBI_TYPE_C_OPT1 | 12 |
+ | DPI_DBI_TYPE_C_OPT2 | 13 |
+ | DPI_DBI_TYPE_C_OPT3 | 14 |
+ --------------------------

Can this not be inferred by the driver? If it's a DSI driver can't it
select between DSI_VIDEO_MODE or DSI_CMD_MODE based on its capabilities?
That is, if the panel driver can setup command mode, shouldn't it be
using command mode in that case? And use DSI_VIDEO_MODE otherwise?

I may remove this property.
But, I choose not to add any logic in the host and slave drivers to
handle the interface mode selection at present, since I only support
the DSI_VIDEO_MODE now. Is this acceptable?


+Optional properties:
+ - power-on-delay: delay after turning regulators on [ms]
+ - reset-delay: delay after reset sequence [ms]

Surely these are constant for this panel?

Accepted.


+ - panel-width-mm: physical panel width [mm]
+ - panel-height-mm: physical panel height [mm]

These are also implied by compatible.


Accepted.

+Example:
+ panel@0 {
+ compatible = "himax,hx8369a-dsi";
+ reg = <0>;
+ pinctrl-names = "default";
+ pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_mipi_panel>;
+ reset-gpios = <&gpio6 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ reset-delay = <120>;
+ bs2-gpios = <&gpio6 14 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ data-lanes = <2>;
+ panel-width-mm = <45>;
+ panel-height-mm = <76>;
+ bs = <10>;
+ status = "okay";

status = "okay" is the default, so it probably shouldn't be in this
example.


Accepted.

You really shouldn't have based this on the Samsung drivers. You really
should do proper error handling here. These error messages are going to
be completely cryptic and very hard for people to look up in the driver
as opposed to a simple specific error message like:

dev_err(ctx->dev, "failed to do XYZ: %d\n", err);

which will immediately let you look up the right location without a need
to decode the hexdump and look for the correct array.

Accepted.

This and all of the other initialization functions below completely
ignore any errors. Other than spamming the kernel log the user won't get
any indication of anything going wrong.

What does this do exactly? It seems to be more than setting an extension
command.

The panel data sheet tells that several commands rely on the SETEXTC,
such as SETMIPI, SETPANEL and SETCYC ..., which are used in this driver.

Like I've said before, the driver should hardcode the mode because it is

I'd prefer sizeof(*ctx).

I think you're supposed to combine this into something like:

ret = devm_gpiod_get(dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_LOW);

nowadays.

Accepted.


+

+ if (ret < 0) {
+ dev_err(dev, "cannot configure bs%d-gpio %d\n", i, ret);

Similarly to the above:

ret = devm_gpiod_get(dev, bs, GPIOD_OUT_HIGH);

+static int __init hx8369a_init(void)

+{
+ mipi_dsi_driver_unregister(&hx8369a_dsi_driver);
+}
+module_exit(hx8369a_exit);

Why can't this be module_mipi_dsi_driver(&hx8369a_dsi_driver)?

Like the panel-simple driver. I thought that we probably may add other
driver registers here. But, since the driver only supports DSI now,
I may change to use module_mipi_dsi_driver().

+MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Himax HX8369A panel driver");

Missing MODULE_AUTHOR()?

I'll add it.
