Hi,
while I haven't got much time to work on the actual code right now, I think it might still be useful if we could get the device tree binding to a point where everybody is happy with it. That'll also save me some time once I get to writing the code because I won't have to redo it over again. =)
So here's the current proposal:
host1x { compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-host1x", "simple-bus"; reg = <0x50000000 0x00024000>; interrupts = <0 64 0x04 /* cop syncpt */ 0 65 0x04 /* mpcore syncpt */ 0 66 0x04 /* cop general */ 0 67 0x04>; /* mpcore general */
#address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <1>;
ranges = <0x54000000 0x54000000 0x04000000>;
status = "disabled";
gart = <&gart>;
/* video-encoding/decoding */ mpe { reg = <0x54040000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 68 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
/* video input */ vi { reg = <0x54080000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 69 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
/* EPP */ epp { reg = <0x540c0000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 70 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
/* ISP */ isp { reg = <0x54100000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 71 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
/* 2D engine */ gr2d { reg = <0x54140000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 72 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
/* 3D engine */ gr3d { reg = <0x54180000 0x00040000>; status = "disabled"; };
/* display controllers */ dc1: dc@54200000 { compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-dc"; reg = <0x54200000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 73 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
dc2: dc@54240000 { compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-dc"; reg = <0x54240000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 74 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
/* outputs */ rgb { compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-rgb"; status = "disabled"; };
hdmi { compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-hdmi"; reg = <0x54280000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 75 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
tvo { compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-tvo"; reg = <0x542c0000 0x00040000>; interrupts = <0 76 0x04>; status = "disabled"; };
dsi { compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-dsi"; reg = <0x54300000 0x00040000>; status = "disabled"; }; };
This really isn't anything new but merely brings the Tegra DRM binding in sync with other devices in tegra20.dtsi (disable devices by default, leave out unit addresses for unique nodes). The only actual change is that host1x clients are now children of the host1x node. The children are instantiated by the initial call to of_platform_populate() since the host1x node is also marked compatible with "simple-bus".
An alternative would be to call of_platform_populate() from the host1x driver. This has the advantage that it could integrate better with the host1x bus implementation that Terje is working on, but it also needs additional code to tear down the devices when the host1x driver is unloaded because a module reload would try to create duplicate devices otherwise.
The rgb node is something that I don't quite know how to handle yet. Since it is really part of the display controller and uses its register space, it isn't quite correct to represent it as a separate device. But we will need a separate node to make it available as a connector, which will become more obvious below.
Perhaps the ranges property can also be used to remap the reg properties of the child nodes so that they can be specified as an offset into the host1x aperture instead of an address in the CPU address space. But that's just a minor issue because the OF code should be able to handle it transparently.
Board DTS files could then extend this with board-specific requirements and connectors. The following describes the Medcom Wide:
host1x { carveout = <0x0e000000 0x02000000>; display-controllers = <&dc1>; status = "okay";
dc@54200000 { status = "okay"; };
lvds: rgb { status = "okay"; }; };
connectors { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>;
connector@0 { reg = <0>; edid = /incbin/("tegra-medcom.edid"); output = <&lvds>; }; };
Basically this turns on the first display controller and the RGB/LVDS output and hooks up a static EDID block with the LVDS output. There is also a carveout property which might be a better replacement for the "crippled" GART on Tegra20. Alternatively the CMA might work just as well instead.
The Plutux can be described like this:
host1x { carveout = <0x0e000000 0x02000000>; display-controllers = <&dc1 &dc2>; status = "okay";
dc@54200000 { status = "okay"; };
hdmi: hdmi { vdd-supply = <&ldo7_reg>; pll-supply = <&ldo8_reg>; status = "okay";
}; };
connectors { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>;
connector@0 { reg = <0>; output = <&hdmi>; ddc = <&ddc>;
hpd-gpio = <&gpio 111 0>; /* PN7 */ }; };
Which is similar to the Medcom Wide, only it uses the HDMI output and hooks it up with one of the Tegra's I2C controllers to do EDID probing via DDC. Additionally it can detect whether an HDMI cable is connected using the GPIO specified by the hpd-gpio property.
