Most of the driver code is unchanged. Changes since v1: - Explicitly list properties from the simple-panel binding that apply to the Bananapi 7" panel - Moved an incorrectly squashed change from patch 3 to patch 1, where it belongs [1] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/900725/ Original cover letter follows: Dithering is a method of approximating a color from a mixture of other colors when the required color isn't available. It reduces color banding artifacts that can be observed when displaying gradients (e.g. grayscale gradients). This may occur when the image that needs to be displayed is 24-bit but the LCD panel is a lower bit depth and does not perform dithering on its own. The TCON (LCD controller) found in Allwinner SoCs has hardware support for dithering on channel 0, the channel used to feed LCD panels. This series adds support for it. Patch 1 reworks the mode set function for the CPU interface to pass the encoder object, so it can be passed to other helper functions. Patch 2 renames the dithering related register macros to reflect the fact that dithering is only supported on channel 0. Patch 3 adds support for dithering on all LCD panel output types. Patch 4 adds support for Banana Pi's 7" DPI LCD panel. Patch 5 adds a pinmux setting for RGB888 for the Allwinner A20 SoC. This change has been sent by others before. Patch 6 provides an example for enabling the Banana Pi 7" DPI LCD panel on the Banana Pi M1+. This should not be merged. I will likely rework this into an overlay in the future. Note that I was only able to test dithering with DPI, as I do not have other panel types. However the underlying concept and core code is the same, as are the drm objects accessed. Nevertheless I'm hoping Jonathan can test LVDS and Maxime can test MIPI DSI. Also it seems pwm-backlight hardware is unusable at the moment. I'm not sure whether the pwm-backlight or sun4i-pwm driver is to blame. I had to manually poke the pwm registers so the LCD backlight wouldn't be completely black.
