Commit Message

The following happened when migrating an old fbdev driver to DRM:

The Integrator/CP PL111 supports 16BPP but only ARGB1555/ABGR1555
or XRGB1555/XBGR1555 i.e. the maximum depth is 15.

This makes the initialization of the framebuffer fail since
the code in drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe() assigns the same value
to sizes.surface_bpp and sizes.surface_depth. I.e. it simply assumes
a 1-to-1 mapping between BPP and depth, which is true in most cases
but not for this hardware that only support odd formats.

To support the odd case of a driver supporting 16BPP with only 15
bits of depth, this patch will make the code loop over the formats
supported on the primary plane on each CRTC managed by the FB
helper and cap the depth to the maximum supported on any primary
plane.

On the PL110 Integrator, this makes drm_mode_legacy_fb_format()
select DRM_FORMAT_XRGB1555 which is acceptable for this driver, and
thus we get framebuffer, penguin and console on the Integrator/CP.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Loop over the CRTCs managed by the helper and check the
  crtc->primary on each CRTC for the applicable formats and
  thus depths.
- Skip over YUV formats. The framebuffer emulation cannot
  handle these formats.

The v1 was sent some while back in february and I only recently
got back to fixing this up to support the last CLCD displays.
It was agreed that it is probably best to augment the framebuffer
initializer to pass a desired pixel format instead of just
BPP as today, but that is a bit daunting, and Daniel said that
we would probably anyways need a fallback like this.

I think better to skip all funny formats with fmt->depth == 0. With that:

I can easily make that change but this comment in the drm_fourcc.h
header makes me insecure:

/**
 * @depth:
 *
 * Color depth (number of bits per pixel excluding padding bits),
 * valid for a subset of RGB formats only. This is a legacy field, do
 * not use in new code and set to 0 for new formats.
 */
u8 depth;

This would mean that we make the framebuffer only support
"legacy formats". It might be that "legacy formats" include
all reasonable ones such as any RGB/BGA variants.

I will make the change and put in some comments about this
so it's clear.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Yeah it's not a perfect fit either, but there's a lot non-yuv format
that are very special, and checking for ->depth excludes them. And yes
all the usual rgb/bga formats have bpp/depth descriptions. That's also
all that the fbdev format stuff can describe. Long term we maybe want
to switch over to directly using the format fourcc (and -EINVAL the
ones we don't understand), because atm we're shrugging the bgr vs rgb
difference under the rug.
