The omapdrm driver requires omapdss panel drivers to expose ops like detect, set_timings and check_timings. These can be NULL for fixed panel DPI, DBI, DSI and SDI drivers. At some places, there are no checks to see if the panel driver has these ops or not, and that leads to a crash.

The following things are done to make fixed panels work:

• The omap_connector's detect function is modified such that it considers panel types which are generally fixed panels as always connected(provided the panel driver doesn't have a detect op). Hence, the connector corresponding to these panels is always in a 'connected' state.

• If a panel driver doesn't have a check_timings op, assume that it supports the mode passed to omap_connector_mode_valid(the 'mode_valid' drm helper function)

• The function omap_encoder_update shouldn't really do anything for fixed resolution panels, make sure that it calls set_timings only if the panel driver has one.

I tested this with picodlp on a OMAP4 sdp board. I couldn't get any other working boards with fixed DPI panels. I could try the DSI video mode panel on an OMAP5 sevm, but that will require me to patch a lot of things to get omap5 dss work with DT. I can try if needed.

hmm, why not just have a default detect fxn for panel drivers which always returns true? Seems a bit cleaner.. otherwise, I guess we could just change omap_connector so that if dssdev->detect is null, assume always connected. Seems maybe a slightly better way since currently omap_connector doesn't really know too much about different sorts of panels. But I'm not too picky if that is a big pain because we probably end up changing all this as CFP starts coming into existence.

Same goes for check_timings/set_timings.. it seems a bit cleaner just to have default fxns in the panel drivers that do-the-right-thing, although I suppose it might be a bit more convenient for out-of-tree panel drivers to just assume fixed panel if these fxns are null.

Maybe having default functions in omapdss might be a better idea. There is an option of adding default functions in omap_dss_register_driver() (drivers/video/omap2/dss/core.c).

Tomi, do you think it's fine to add some more default panel driver funcs?

Yeah, I can't make my mind about null pointer. It's nice to inform with a null pointer that the panel doesn't support the given operation, or that it doesn't make sense, but handling the null value makes the code a bit complex.

For example, our VENC driver doesn't know if there's a TV connected or not, so neither true or false as connect return value makes sense there. Or, for a DSI command mode panel, set_timings doesn't really make much sense.

We can add default funcs. However, adding them in omap_dss_register_driver is not so nice, as it makes the omap_dss_driver (which is essentially an "ops" struct) non-constable. Instead, we should move the setting of the default funcs to the drivers.

If I'm not mistaken, we could manage that with a helper macro. Assigning a value to the same field of a struct should be ok by the compiler, and should cause only the last assignment to be taken into use. So:

static struct foo zab = { .bar = 123, /* ignored */ .bar = 234, /* used */ };

And so we could have:

static struct omap_dss_driver my_panel_driver = { OMAPDSS_DEFAULT_PANEL_OPS, /* macro for default ops */

.enable = my_panel_enable, /* ... */ };

This sounds nice, but if the panel driver ops are going to be changed again in CPF, then it might make sense to do this later, depending on how it CPF handles default ops in panel drivers.

Maybe we should leave this patch as-is, since we know it will be modified later.
