Hi Eric,
I took your patch for the panel-bridge and it works perfectly in both DPI mode (panel RGB //) and DSI mode (bridge dw mipi dsi), bravo :-)
I still don't understand how it can work without a call to drm_bridge_attach() (which is used to link the RGB encoder to the DPI connector). I'm probably missing something obvious. Maybe someone can point it out :-).
I think the expectation is that there will be a follow-up patch that would add bridge support. Philippe had posted a patch for adding bridges to ltdc before:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9724835/
He can now redo his patch over Eric's panel-bridge patch-set.
But by doing that you're breaking bisectability, or is it working when applying only Eric's patchset?
If applying this patch breaks the driver, why not applying it after bridge support has been added to this driver?
Yeah, it would break the driver. Philippe can create a patch that adds bridge support using the panel-bridge glue layer using Eric's patch as a reference. In the end, there should only be a single patch.
Thanks, Archit
