[PATCH v5 2/3] drm: panel: Add Himax HX8394 panel controller driver

Javier Martinez Canillas javierm at redhat.com
Mon Jan 2 15:07:32 PST 2023


From: Kamil Trzciński <ayufan at ayufan.eu>

The driver is for panels based on the Himax HX8394 controller, such as the
HannStar HSD060BHW4 720x1440 TFT LCD panel that uses a MIPI-DSI interface.

Changes in v5:
- Add Peter Robinson's Tested-by tag.

Changes in v4:
- Add Tom Fitzhenry's Tested-by tag.

Changes in v3:
- Add Sam Ravnborg's reviwed-by tag.
- Move driver patch after one introducing the DT binding (Sam Ravnborg).

Changes in v2:
- Add year to driver's copyright notice (Sam Ravnborg)
- Remove unused <video/display_timing.h> header include (Sam Ravnborg).
- Use mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq() helper and drop custom macro (Sam Ravnborg).
- Drop unnecessary info messages and move useful one to debug (Sam Ravnborg).
