Hi Vikas,
Sorry for the late reply. I now have more time to work on CDF, so delays should be much shorter.

Hi Laurent,
I was thinking of porting CDF to samsung EXYNOS 5250 platform, what I found is that, the exynos display controller is MIPI DSI based controller.
But if I look at CDF patches, it has only support for MIPI DBI based Display controller.
So my question is, do we have any generic framework for MIPI DSI based display controller? basically I wanted to know, how to go about porting CDF for such kind of display controller.
MIPI DSI support is not available yet. The only reason for that is that I don't have any MIPI DSI hardware to write and test the code with :-)
The common display framework should definitely support MIPI DSI. I think the existing MIPI DBI code could be used as a base, so the implementation shouldn't be too high.
Yeah, i was also thinking in similar lines, below is my though for MIPI DSI support in CDF.
o MIPI DSI support as part of CDF framework will expose § mipi_dsi_register_device(mpi_device) (will be called mach-xxx-dt.c file) § mipi_dsi_register_driver(mipi_driver, bus ops) (will be called from platform specific init driver call ) · bus ops will be o read data o write data o write command § MIPI DSI will be registered as bus_register()
When MIPI DSI probe is called, it (e.g., Exynos or OMAP MIPI DSI) will initialize the MIPI DSI HW IP.
This probe will also parse the DT file for MIPI DSI based panel, add the panel device (device_add() ) to kernel and register the display entity with its control and video ops with CDF.
After discussing the DBI/DSI busses with Tomi Valkeinen we concluded that creating a real bus for DBI and DSI, although possible, wasn't required. DSI operations should thus be provided through display entity video source operations. You can find a proposed implementation in Tomi's patch set.
I can give this a try. Does the existing Exynos 5250 driver support MIPI DSI ? Is the device documentation publicly available ? Can you point me to a MIPI DSI panel with public documentation (preferably with an existing mainline driver if possible) ?
yeah, existing Exynos 5250 driver support MIPI DSI ass well as eDP.
i think device documentation is NOT available publicly.
