So this is actually a MIPI DBI host driver.

I personally would love to have added mipi_ in the names - to make it
all more explicit.
But maybe that just because I get confused on all the acronyms.

I can rename the driver and move it out of drm/bridge/, no problem.

Some details in the following. Will try to find some more time so I can
grasp the full picture. The following was just my low-level notes for
now.

Sam

DBI types c1 and c3 are supported. C1 is a SPI protocol with 9 bits per
word, with the data/command information in the 9th (MSB) bit. C3 is a
SPI protocol with 8 bits per word, with the data/command information
carried by a separate GPIO.

We did not have any define to distingush between DBI_C1 and DBI_c3:
+/* MIPI bus types */
+#define MIPI_DEVICE_TYPE_DSI BIT(0)
+#define MIPI_DEVICE_TYPE_DBI_SPI_MODE1 BIT(1)
+#define MIPI_DEVICE_TYPE_DBI_SPI_MODE2 BIT(2)
+#define MIPI_DEVICE_TYPE_DBI_SPI_MODE3 BIT(3)
+#define MIPI_DEVICE_TYPE_DBI_M6800 BIT(4)
+#define MIPI_DEVICE_TYPE_DBI_I8080 BIT(5)

Is this on purpose?

I understand the confusion. Here SPI_MODE1/3 actually mean SPI_C1/3. I will rename them.

I had assumed the host should tell what it supports and the device should
tell what it wanted.
So if the host did not support DBI_C3 and device wants it - then we
could give up early.

Well that's exactly what's done here - just with badly named macros :)

This is no bridge driver - so does not belong in the bridge

It is very confusing that the mipi_dbi_spi driver uses a dsi_host.
It clashes in my head - and then reviewing it not easy.

From now on read all "mipi_dsi_*" as a MIPI DSI/DBI API. Renaming the API means a treewide patchset that touches many many files...

Hmm, this looks not right. We limit the max_chunk to 8K here.
We learned the other day that we count in bytes.
OR did I miss something?

We want to extend 8-bit values into 16-bit values, and we have a X-bytes output buffer for that, so the maximum input buffer size we can use is (X/2).

This code is the original algorithm in drm_mipi_dbi.c, I didn't change anything here (safe for the fix that was merged a couple of days ago to drm-misc-fixes).

Would it be better with a fall-back compatible like:
mipi,dbi-spi.
So the nodes must includes this compatible to be registered with
this driver?

Ideally, it would be perfect, but unfortunately we cannot do that.

If a node has the following:
compatible = "adafruit,yx240qv29", "mipi-dbi-spi";

Then Linux will probe only with the first compatible string since it has a driver for it. It will use the fallback string only if no driver matches the first string.
