[PATCH 2/4 v4] drm/pl111: Use max memory bandwidth for resolution

Linus Walleij linus.walleij at linaro.org
Wed Mar 7 00:43:16 PST 2018


We were previously selecting 1024x768 and 32BPP as the default
set-up for the PL111 consumers.

This does not work on elder systems: the device tree bindings
support a property "max-memory-bandwidth" in bytes/second that
states that if you exceed this the memory bus will saturate.
The result is flickering and unstable images.

Parse the "max-memory-bandwidth" and respect it when
intializing the driver. On the RealView PB11MP, Versatile and
Integrator/CP we get a nice console as default with this code.

ChangeLog v3->v4:
- Switch the noisy DRM_INFO for DRM_DEBUG_KMS
- Collect Eric's review tag
ChangeLog v2->v3:
- Account for the case where there is no bandwidth limitation
  so priv->memory_bw is zero. Then just accept any modes.
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Exploit the new .mode_valid() callback we added to the
  simple KMS helper.
- Use the hardcoded bits per pixel per variant instead of
  trying to be heuristic about this setting for now.
