[RESEND PATCH v5 0/4] Add Synopsys DesignWare HDMI RX Controller

[Tim Surber]

Hi,

I tested your patch with the command

# gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! fakesink

If this worked I moved on to a visual test using

# gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! queue ! v4l2convert ! 
waylandsink

I used a Windows PC  with a Nvidia GTX 4060 as my source for the 
following tests.

| Format       | Result                                      |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| 4k60p RGB    | Recognized as 1080p / 120 fps - no output   |
| 4k60p 4:2:2  | Recognized as 1080p / 120 fps - no output   |
| 4k60p 4:4:4  | Error: Device wants 1 planes                |
| 4k30p RGB    | ok                                          |
| 4k30p 4:2:2  | ok                                          |
| 4k30p 4:4:4  | Error: Device wants 1 planes                |
| FHD60p RGB   | ok                                          |
| FHD60p 4:2:2 | ok                                          |
| FHD60p 4:4:4 | Error: Device wants 1 planes                |


When testing 4:4:4 chroma I got the following error:

# gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! fakesink
/sys/v4l2/gstv4l2object.c(4344): gst_v4l2_object_set_format_full (): 
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:
Device wants 1 planes

I could record and convert (with errors) the files with 4:4:4 chroma 
using the command Shreeya posted, but the resulting video had wrong 
colors and was flashing.

I was not able to test 4:2:0 chroma. I tried to generate an custom EDID 
with support for it but I could not select it in the graphics driver in 
the source, maybe this is just an issue with my setup.

I also observed that the the framerate is reported wrong, for example 
setting the source to FHD60p RGB resulted in the following:

# v4l2-ctl --all -L --list-formats-ext -d /dev/video0
Active width: 1920
	Active height: 1080
	Total width: 2200
	Total height: 1125
	Frame format: progressive
	Polarities: -vsync -hsync
	Pixelclock: 214076000 Hz (86.50 frames per second)

This wrong framerate reporting seemed to happen across all framerates 
and resolutions. Gstreamer Pipeline negotation showed the same results.

During my testing I got sometimes an error


# dmesg
dma alloc of size 24883200 failed


I'm not sure when this happened and how to reproduce it.

Then I tried to use an AppleTV 4k as source. I don't know what 
resolution it tried to negotiate but I got this error in addition to the 
previous "Device wants 1 planes" and no connection:

# dmesg

fdee0000.hdmi_receiver: hdmirx_wait_signal_lock: signal not lock,

fdee0000.hdmi_receiver: hdmirx_wait_signal_lock: mu_st:0x0, scdc_st:0x0,
