[RFC/RFT PATCH 0/4] drm/bridge: dw-hdmi: Add support for Custom PHYs

From: Neil Armstrong
Date: Tue Jan 17 2017 - 07:31:52 EST


The Amlogic GX SoCs implements a Synopsys DesignWare HDMI TX Controller
in combination with a very custom PHY.

Thanks to Laurent Pinchart's changes, the HW report the following :
Detected HDMI TX controller v2.01a with HDCP (Vendor PHY)

The following differs from common PHY integration as managed in the current
driver :
- Amlogic PHY is not configured through the internal I2C link
- Amlogic PHY do not use the ENTMDS, SVSRET, PDDQ, ... signals from the controller
- Amlogic PHY do not export HPD ands RxSense signals to the controller

And finally, concerning the controller integration :
- the Controller registers are not flat memory-mapped, and uses an
addr+read/write register pair to write all registers.
- Inputs only YUV444 pixel data

This is why the following patchset implements :
- Conversion to regmap for register access
- Add more callbacks ops to handle Custom PHYs
- Configure the Input format from the plat_data
- Fixes a bug that considers the input to be always RBG and sends bad pixel
format to a DVI sink by disabling CSC

This patchset makes the Amlogix GX SoCs HDMI output successfully work, but I
do not have access to Renesas, i.MX or RockChip SoCs to test against
potentiel regressions, like the regmap conversion.

This patchset is based on the latest Laurent Pinchart dw-hdmi serie at [1].
