eDP panels generally contain almost everything needed to control them in their EDID. This comes from their DP heritage were a computer needs to be able to properly control pretty much any DP display that's plugged into it.
The one big issue with eDP panels and the reason that we need a panel driver for them is that the power sequencing can be different per panel.
While it is true that eDP panel sequencing can be arbitrarily complex, in practice it turns out that many eDP panels are compatible with just some slightly different delays. See the contents of the bindings file introduced in this patch for some details.
The fact that eDP panels are 99% probable and that the power sequencing (especially power up) can be compatible between many panels means that there's a constant desire to plug multiple different panels into the same board. This could be for second sourcing purposes or to support multiple SKUs (maybe a 11" and a 13", for instance).
As discussed [1], it should be OK to support this by adding two properties to the device tree to specify the delays needed for powering up the panel the first time. We'll create a new "edp-panel" bindings file and define the two delays that might need to be specified. NOTE: in the vast majority of the cases (HPD is hooked up and isn't glitchy or is debounced) even these delays aren't needed.

Changes in v2: - No longer allow fallback to panel-simple. - Add "-ms" suffix to delays.

This is useful for + the case that more than one different panel could be connected to the + board, either for second-sourcing purposes or to support multiple SKUs + with different LCDs that hook up to a common board. + + As per above, a requirement for using this binding is that the panel is + represented under the DP AUX bus. This means that we can use any + information provided by the DP AUX bus (including the EDID) to identify + the panel. We can use this to identify display size, resolution, and + timings among other things. + + One piece of information about eDP panels that is typically _not_ + provided anywhere on the DP AUX bus is the power sequencing timings. + This is the reason why, historically, we've always had to explicitly + list eDP panels. We solve that here with two tricks. The "worst case" + power on timings for any panels expected to be connected to a board are + specified in these bindings. Once we've powered on, it's expected that + the operating system will lookup the panel in a table (based on EDID + information) to figure out other power sequencing timings. + + eDP panels in general can have somewhat arbitrary power sequencing + requirements. However, even though it's arbitrary in general, the + vast majority of panel datasheets have a power sequence diagram that + looks the exactly the same as every other panel. Each panel datasheet + cares about different timings in this diagram but the fact that the + diagram is so similar means we can come up with a single driver to + handle it. + + These diagrams all look roughly like this, sometimes labeled with + slightly different numbers / lines but all pretty much the same + sequence. This is because much of this diagram comes straight from + the eDP Standard. + + __________________________________________________ + Vdd ___/: :____ / + _/ : : _____/ + :<T1>:<T2>: :<--T10-->:<T11>:<T12>: + : +-----------------------+---------+---------+ + eDP -----------+ Black video | Src vid | Blk vid + + Display : +-----------------------+---------+---------+ + : _______________________:_________:_________: + HPD :<T3>| : : | + ___________| : : |_____________ + : : : : + Sink +-----------------------:---------:---------+ + AUX CH -----------+ AUX Ch operational : : +------------- + +-----------------------:---------:---------+ + : : : : + :<T4>: :<T7>: : : + Src main +------+------+--------------+---------+ + lnk data----------------+LnkTrn| Idle |Valid vid data| Idle/off+------------- + +------+------+--------------+---------+ + : <T5> :<-T6->:<-T8->: : + :__:<T9>: + LED_EN | | + _____________________________________| |____________________________ + : : + __________:__:_ + PWM | : : | + __________________________| : : |__________________________ + : : : : + _____________:__________:__:_:______ + Bklight ____/: : : : : :____ + power _______/ :<---T13---->: : : :<T16>: ______________ + (Vbl) :<T17>:<---------T14--------->: :<-T15->:<T18>: + + The above looks fairly complex but, as per above, each panel only cares + about a subset of those timings. + +allOf: + - $ref: panel-common.yaml# + +properties: + compatible: + const: edp-panel + + hpd-reliable-delay-ms: + description: + A fixed amount of time that must be waited after powering on the + panel's power-supply before the HPD signal is a reliable way to know + when the AUX channel is ready.
