From 4ada6f228404921d6ce661edc7a0c84f1ada1a1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2016 09:56:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm: document standard connector properties There's a really big pile of additional connector properties, a lot of them standardized. But they're all for specific outputs (panels, TV, scaling, ...) so I left them out for now since this is enough for a start. I typed this to give Manasi a place to add her new link status property documentation. v2: forgot to git add all the bits (Manasi). v3: Be more epxlicit about integrated tiled panels (Archit) Cc: Manasi Navare Cc: Archit Taneja Reviewed-by: Archit Taneja Reviewed-by: Manasi Navare Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20161117085648.26646-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch --- Documentation/gpu/drm-kms.rst | 6 +++++ drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 50 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/gpu/drm-kms.rst b/Documentation/gpu/drm-kms.rst index 568f3c2b6e46..f19757b1736a 100644 --- a/Documentation/gpu/drm-kms.rst +++ b/Documentation/gpu/drm-kms.rst @@ -260,6 +260,12 @@ Property Types and Blob Property Support .. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_property.c :export: +Standard Connector Properties +----------------------------- + +.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c + :doc: standard connector properties + Plane Composition Properties ---------------------------- diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c index b5c6a8ee831e..5a4526289392 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c @@ -588,6 +588,50 @@ static const struct drm_prop_enum_list drm_tv_subconnector_enum_list[] = { DRM_ENUM_NAME_FN(drm_get_tv_subconnector_name, drm_tv_subconnector_enum_list) +/** + * DOC: standard connector properties + * + * DRM connectors have a few standardized properties: + * + * EDID: + * Blob property which contains the current EDID read from the sink. This + * is useful to parse sink identification information like vendor, model + * and serial. Drivers should update this property by calling + * drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property(), usually after having parsed + * the EDID using drm_add_edid_modes(). Userspace cannot change this + * property. + * DPMS: + * Legacy property for setting the power state of the connector. For atomic + * drivers this is only provided for backwards compatibility with existing + * drivers, it remaps to controlling the "ACTIVE" property on the CRTC the + * connector is linked to. Drivers should never set this property directly, + * it is handled by the DRM core by calling the ->dpms() callback in + * &drm_connector_funcs. Atomic drivers should implement this hook using + * drm_atomic_helper_connector_dpms(). This is the only property standard + * connector property that userspace can change. + * PATH: + * Connector path property to identify how this sink is physically + * connected. Used by DP MST. This should be set by calling + * drm_mode_connector_set_path_property(), in the case of DP MST with the + * path property the MST manager created. Userspace cannot change this + * property. + * TILE: + * Connector tile group property to indicate how a set of DRM connector + * compose together into one logical screen. This is used by both high-res + * external screens (often only using a single cable, but exposing multiple + * DP MST sinks), or high-res integrated panels (like dual-link DSI) which + * are not gen-locked. Note that for tiled panels which are genlocked, like + * dual-link LVDS or dual-link DSI, the driver should try to not expose the + * tiling and virtualize both &drm_crtc and &drm_plane if needed. Drivers + * should update this value using drm_mode_connector_set_tile_property(). + * Userspace cannot change this property. + * + * Connectors also have one standardized atomic property: + * + * CRTC_ID: + * Mode object ID of the &drm_crtc this connector should be connected to. + */ + int drm_connector_create_standard_properties(struct drm_device *dev) { struct drm_property *prop; -- 2.45.2
