DS90UB954-Q1 is an FPDLink-III deserializer that is mostly register
compatible with DS90UB960-Q1. The main difference is that it supports
half of the RX and TX ports, i.e. 2x FPDLink RX ports and 1x CSI TX
port.

Some other registers are marked as reserved in the datasheet as well,
notably around CSI-TX frame and line-count monitoring and some other

Hmm what does that mean? That in log_status we show random data (or
maybe always 0) for these?


It seems like it is showing 0's for these. I streamed around 100 frames.
But the frame counter and line counter returned is 0. Please find the
logs at [1].

If the registers are marked as reserved and don't function, we should
not use them. Here it doesn't do any harm when running the code, but it
does decrease the usefulness of log_status if the user is shown data
that is wrong (and the user most likely doesn't know it's wrong).


Yes, Understood. I will address this in the next revision.

status registers. The datasheet also does not mention anything about
setting strobe position, and fails to lock the RX ports if we forcefully
set it, so disable it through the hw_data.

This app-note has some details:

No, let's not add any more of these. We should have enums for the device
model and the "family" (ub954/ub960 are clearly of the same family,
whereas ub9702 is of a newer one).


Got it. I will add enums in the next revision.

Space missing at the end. What does the comment mean? "registers are

Apologies for the inaccurate comment description, My intention to
comment that the tx_port_select function does not make sense for
UB954, since we have only 1 CSI TX. May be I can have something
like below.

/** UB954 has only 1 CSI TX. Hence, no need to select **/

I think it's good to have this after the lockdep assert. The lock rules
are in place, even if on ub954 we don't do anything here.

Check the app note. It would be nice to have this working, as, afaik,
the HW functionality should be the same on ub954 and ub960.


I tried referring the app note and changed the strobe position values
accordingly, but it did not help.

Since the app note also specifies the below at Table 2 Strobe Adaption
Modes

"
AEQ Adaption Mode--> Strobe position is selected as part of AEQ. This is
the default mode.

Manual Adaption Mode --> The strobe position is selected manually and
will remain at
the specified position until a new one is chosen. This mode is
recommended as an
evaluation and debugging mode "

Since, under the default settings, the strobe position is selected as
part of the AEQ process.
Can we limit the ub960_rxport_set_strobe_pos function to only UB960 and
UB9702.

Ok. But it doesn't sound good if we just skip the
ub960_rxport_set_strobe_pos(), but keep all the other EQ related writes.
I.e. we do the EQ config partially, and leave out parts that, for
unknown reasons, seem to cause problems...

So probably the check should be in ub960_rxport_config_eq(). With a
FIXME comment, and a short note where it fails.

That said, if everyone (?) agrees that the HW should support this, it
would be really nice if you can keep poking the FPD-Link people in TI
and try to get clarification on what's going on (what's the diff between
ub960 and ub954).


Yes, I will do that.

Btw, did you look at the other EQ related writes, and check if they're
valid for ub954?


Not until now, will check that.

This feels a bit too much for a not-that-important debug print... As the
tests show that a single read is (practically always?) enough, I think
we can just use the same code as for ub960. Maybe add a comment about
it, though.


okay, I will use the same code that is being used for UB960 and will add
a comment
about that.
