Looks like a great solution for that problem, so Reviewed-by: Heiko Stuebner heiko@sntech.de
As I'm looking into that for my rk3399-scarlet device right now and couldn't find this patchset in the kernel yet, is it planned to merge or refresh these binding changes or were problems encountered.
At least an Ack/Review from Rob seems to be missing.
I forgot about these patches. Rob had reviewed the first one in the set the second one still needed an Ack. I'll post a v3 that adds the Reviewed-bys and fixes a small typo.
very nice ... because it looks like yesterday I managed to make the Rockchip dsi work in dual mode following this.
But one question came up, do you really want two input ports on the panel side? I.e. hardware-wise, I guess the panel will have one 8-lane or so input thatonly gets split up on the soc side onto 2 dsi controllers?
I think all dual DSI panels actually have 2 DSI controllers/parsers within them, one on each port. The MIPI DSI spec doesn't support 8 lanes. Also, the pixels coming out of the host are distributed among the lanes differently than what would have been the case with a 'theoretical' 8 lane receiver.
Other than that, some dual DSI panels only accept DSI commands on the 'master' port, where as others expect the same command to be sent across both the ports.
Therefore, I think it's better to represent dual DSI panels having 2 DSI input ports.
Your DT looks good to me.
Hmm, that doesn't match up then ;-) ... as my dt uses 2 endpoints in one port for the dsi-links.
The issue I see with using ports and not endpoints for dual-dsi links is with distinguishing between input and output ports.
For a panel that's easy, as you every port will be an input port and if you have 2, it's supposed dual-dsi. But for example I guess there might exist some dual-dsi-to-something bridges, where you would end up with say 3 (or even more) ports ... two dual-dsi inputs and 1 or more outputs.
While the following argument might not be 100% valid from a dt-purity standpoint implementing this might get hairy for _any_ operating system, as you will need each panel/bridge to tell what the ports are used for.
I.e. in my endpoint based mapping, right now I have this nice and generic WIP function to parse the of_graph and get the master+slave nodes:
https://github.com/mmind/linux-rockchip/blob/tmp/rk3399-gru-bob-scarlet/driv... [0]
So I guess my proposal would be to have one port for inputs and one port for outputs for dsi peripherals, with possibly multiple endpoints in each.

[0] github seems to have reliability problems, so for reference my parsing function:
static int dw_mipi_dsi_is_dual(struct dw_mipi_dsi_rockchip *dsi, struct device_node **master, struct device_node **slave) { struct device_node *local_ep, *remote_port, *ep; struct device_node *ctrls[2] = { NULL, NULL }; int num = 0, ret = 0, idx;
/* get local panel endpoint of the dsi controller */ local_ep = of_graph_get_endpoint_by_regs(dsi->dev->of_node, 1, 0); if (!local_ep) { DRM_DEV_ERROR(dsi->dev, "couldn't find local panel endpoint\n"); return -ENXIO; }
/* get panel port */ remote_port = of_graph_get_remote_port_parent(local_ep); of_node_put(local_ep); if (!remote_port) { DRM_DEV_ERROR(dsi->dev, "couldn't find panel port\n"); return -ENXIO; }
/* check other endpoints */ for_each_endpoint_of_node(remote_port, ep) { struct device_node *np = of_graph_get_remote_port_parent(ep);
if (!np) continue;
idx = of_property_read_bool(np, "clock-master");
/* * Either master or slave already defined, drop refcnt * but catch errors only after the full loop. */ if (ctrls[idx]) of_node_put(np); else ctrls[idx] = np;
num++; } of_node_put(remote_port);
if (num > 2) { DRM_DEV_ERROR(dsi->dev, "too many dsi devices linked\n"); ret = -EINVAL; goto cleanup; }
/* nothing to do */ if (num < 1) { ret = 0; goto cleanup; }
if (!ctrls[1]) { DRM_DEV_ERROR(dsi->dev, "no master defined in dual-dsi\n"); ret = -ENODEV; goto cleanup; }
if (!ctrls[0]) { DRM_DEV_ERROR(dsi->dev, "no slave defined in dual-dsi\n"); ret = -ENODEV; goto cleanup; }
*master = ctrls[1]; *slave = ctrls[0];
return 1;
cleanup: for (idx = 0; idx < 2; idx++) if (ctrls[idx]) of_node_put(ctrls[idx]); return ret; }
So right now I'm operating with a devicetree like
&mipi_dsi {
status = "okay"; clock-master; ports { mipi_out: port@1 { reg = <1>; mipi_out_panel: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&mipi_in_panel>; }; }; }; mipi_panel: panel@0 { compatible = "innolux,p097pfg"; reg = <0>; backlight = <&backlight>; enable-gpios = <&gpio4 25 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&display_rst_l>; port { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; mipi_in_panel: endpoint@0 { reg = <0>; remote-endpoint = <&mipi_out_panel>; }; mipi1_in_panel: endpoint@1 { reg = <1>; remote-endpoint = <&mipi1_out_panel>; }; }; };};
&mipi_dsi1 {
status = "okay"; ports { mipi1_out: port@1 { reg = <1>; mipi1_out_panel: endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&mipi1_in_panel>; }; }; };};
I guess it is a matter of preference on what reflects the hardware best, so maybe that's Robs call?

v2:
Specify that clock-master is a boolean property.
Drop/add unit-address and #*-cells where applicable.
