2012-11-26drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: store EDID data in the global objectTimur Tabi1-17/+13
Although the DIU driver creates five framebuffer devices, only the first one controls the physical display. The remaining four are virtual "AOIs". Therefore, the EDID data should be stored in the global fsl_diu_data object, instead of the per-framebuffer object. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com>
2012-11-26drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: don't touch registers for unused featuresTimur Tabi1-8/+15
We don't use the writeback buffer, so don't initialize the registers for that feature. The default value for SYN_POL is already zero, so don't re-initialize it. Writing the INT_STATUS register does nothing. The value that we write to the PLUT register only makes sense on the MPC8610 and P1022, so don't touch that register on the MPC5121.

2012-11-26drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: clean up reset of primary displayTimur Tabi1-13/+6
Commit 4b5006ec ("shared DIU framebuffer support") added the ability to retain the splash screen until the framebuffer is opened by user space. Clean up this code to eliminate redundant writes to registers, and eliminate the use of dummy area descriptor. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com>

Remove functions request_irq_local() and free_irq_local(), and merge their code into the functions that handle opening and closing the framebuffer. We also improve the way that interrupts are enabled. Also implement a work-around for broken U-Boots that leave the DIU interrupts enabled. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com>

2012-08-23drivers/video/fsl-diu-fb.c: use devm_ functionsDamien Cassou1-8/+2

2012-05-13drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: don't initialize the THRESHOLDS registersTimur Tabi1-1/+0
The THRESHOLDS register configures thresholds for two interrupts, but these interrupts are not used in the DIU driver. An early version of the driver may have used the "lines before vsync" interrupt, which requires the LS_BF_VS of THRESHOLDS to be initialized. Unfortunately, the initialization of this register does not do a read-modify-write to set only LS_BF_VS. On the MPC8610, the value written is correct. On other chips, like the P1022, the value overwrites some reserved bits. This results in a performance drop on the P1022. Since the default value is acceptable as-is on all SOCs, we should just avoid touching this register.

2012-01-03drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: add default platform ops functionsTimur Tabi1-3/+61
The DIU driver requires some platform-specific functions to be defined, but two them can be optional because most platforms implement them the same way. Functions set_gamma_table() and get_pixel_format() are only needed because of quirks in the Freescale MPC8610 HPCD reference board. For other boards, a generic implementation works, so we shouldn't require the platform code to define them.

2012-01-03drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: remove broken reference count enabling the displayTimur Tabi1-10/+2
The functions enable_lcdc() and disable_lcdc() used the variable fb_enable to keep a reference count of when the display is enabled, but the code is broken. The display is always disabled when disable_lcdc(), and it is always enabled when enable_lcdc() is called, regardless of the value of fb_enable. Obviously, we don't need to keep a reference count, so just remove the variable. Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat <FlorianSchandinat@gmx.de>
2012-01-03drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: set correct framebuffer flagsTimur Tabi1-1/+2
The DIU uses system RAM for the framebuffer, so FBINFO_VIRTFB should be set. Since the framebuffer is in system RAM, it can be read from more quickly than written to, so FBINFO_READS_FAST should be set. We can also set FBINFO_PARTIAL_PAN_OK for the same reasons.

2011-12-19drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: merge all allocated data into one blockTimur Tabi1-187/+139
The Freescale DIU driver allocates multiple blocks of memory, including multiple DMA buffers. Merge all of these blocks into one data structure. Specifically: 1) struct fsl_diu_data now contains everything that needs to be allocated, except for the framebuffers themselves. DMA'able objects are aligned correctly within the structure. 2) struct diu_addr is no longer needed, because we don't have to manage multiple blocks of DMA memory. 3) Since there's no diu_addr any more, macro DMA_ADDR is used to calculate the DMA address of any field in fsl_diu_data. 4) Functions allocate_buf() and free_buf() are no longer needed, because we now assume that dma_alloc_coherent() will allocate a page-aligned block, and everything is properly aligned with fsl_diu_data already, so we no longer need to align any memory blocks ourselves. 5) The "dummy" area descriptor is now defined separately from the other five ADs, so NUM_AOIS (previously called FSL_AOI_NUM) is now set to five instead of six. Previously, all six were combined together to avoid a separate call to allocate_buf() just for the dummy AD. 6) framebuffer_alloc() and framebuffer_release() are no longer used. The framebuffer is initialized manually. 7) Error handling is simplified since there's only one memory buffer allocated.

The diu_pool structure contains diu_addr objects for various objects allocated in DMA space that are used by the DIU, but the only instance of this structure is a global variable, 'pool'.

2011-10-05drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: only DIU modes 0 and 1 are supportedTimur Tabi1-8/+3
The Freescale DIU video controller supports five video "modes", but only the first two are used by the driver. The other three are special modes that don't make sense for a framebuffer driver. Therefore, there's no point in keeping a global variable that indicates which mode we're supposed to use.

2011-10-05drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: use an enum for the AOI indexTimur Tabi1-48/+46
Each of the five AOIs created by the DIU driver has a special purpose, and they're not treated equally. It makes sense to identify them with an enum instead of a hard-coded number. Since the 'index' is now an enum, it can only contain allowed values, so there's no need to check for an invalid value. This simplifies some other code, such as fsl_diu_disable_panel(), which no longer needs to return an error code.

This mode was originally intended only for the AOIs (overlays) used on planes two and three, but with real margin data, it can now be used as an actual video mode.

2011-10-05drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: remove broken screen blanking supportTimur Tabi1-38/+0
The function which is supposed to provide screen blanking support doesn't actually do anything, so the framebuffer layer thinks the screen has been blanked when it really isn't. Remove the code completely for now. A side-effect of this change is that the framebuffer console blanking now works correctly. Presumably this is because the console now receives -EINVAL instead of '0' when it asks the driver to blank the screen, so the console does it manually now. A signficant refactoring of the driver is planned, and proper hardware blanking support will added afterwards.

Move several macros and structures from the Freescale DIU driver's header file into the source file, because they're only used by that file. Also delete a few unused macros. The diu and diu_ad structures cannot be moved because they're being used by the MPC5121 platform file.

2011-10-05drivers/video: fsl-diu-fb: fix some ioctlsTimur Tabi1-8/+8
Use the _IOx macros to define the ioctl commands, instead of hard-coded numbers. Unfortunately, the original definitions of MFB_SET_PIXFMT and MFB_GET_PIXFMT used the wrong value for the size, so these macros have new values now. To avoid breaking binary compatibility with older applications, we retain support for the original values, but the driver displays a warning message if they're used. Also remove the FBIOGET_GWINFO and FBIOPUT_GWINFO ioctls. FBIOPUT_GWINFO was never implemented, and FBIOGET_GWINFO was never used by any application.

2011-06-24fsl-diu-fb: remove check for pixel clock rangesTimur Tabi1-16/+0
The Freescale DIU framebuffer driver defines two constants, MIN_PIX_CLK and MAX_PIX_CLK, that are supposed to represent the lower and upper limits of the pixel clock. These values, however, are true only for one platform clock rate (533MHz) and only for the MPC8610. So the actual range for the pixel clock is chip-specific, which means the current values are almost always wrong. The chance of an out-of-range pixel clock being used are also remote. Rather than try to detect an out-of-range clock in the DIU driver, we depend on the board-specific pixel clock function (e.g. p1022ds_set_pixel_clock) to clamp the pixel clock to a supported value.

This patch is a removes the extra copies from struct of_platform_driver and converts all users to the device_driver members. This patch is a pretty mechanical change.
