[PATCH v1 0/1] gpu/drm: bridge: tc358768: Add delay after PLL setup

[Svyatoslav Ryhel]

After tc358768_setup_pll() enables PLL_CKEN and the lock indicator comes
up, the DSI register sequence runs near immediately. On TF700T this
results in the bridge claiming PLL lock but producing no DSI video output:
the panel powers up, the backlight comes on, but the framebuffer is never
scanned out.

Insert a small settling delay between PLL setup and the rest of the
attach.

Patch Review

**The fix itself is correct in placement.** Looking at the PLL setup sequence:

```c
/* wait for lock */
usleep_range(1000, 2000);

/* FRS[11:10] LBWS[9:8] CKEN[4] PLL_CKEN[4] RESETB[1] EN[0] */
tc358768_write(priv, TC358768_PLLCTL1,
               (frs << 10) | (0x2 << 8) | BIT(4) | BIT(1) | BIT(0));
```

The existing 1-2ms delay waits for the PLL to lock before enabling `PLL_CKEN` (BIT(4)). The new 20ms `msleep()` is placed *after* `tc358768_setup_pll()` returns — i.e., after `PLL_CKEN` is enabled — giving the clock output time to propagate and stabilize before the DSI register configuration begins. This is a reasonable hardware settling requirement.

**Minor concerns:**

1. **Delay magnitude**: 20ms is a fairly generous delay. The commit message says "small settling delay" but doesn't reference a datasheet timing spec. It would be good to know whether 20ms is derived from the TC358768 datasheet or found empirically. If empirical, a comment noting the origin (e.g., "empirically determined on TF700T") would help future maintainers understand whether this can be tightened. That said, 20ms in a `pre_enable` path is unlikely to cause user-visible latency issues — modeset paths are inherently slow.

2. **`msleep` vs `usleep_range`**: The kernel convention is to use `usleep_range()` for delays under ~20ms. At exactly 20ms, `msleep()` is acceptable per `Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst`, but `usleep_range(20000, 25000)` would be slightly more idiomatic and give the scheduler more flexibility. This is a stylistic nit, not a blocking issue.

3. **No datasheet reference**: The TC358768 datasheet likely has a timing spec for the PLL settling time after `PLL_CKEN` assertion. Referencing it (or noting the absence of one) would strengthen the commit message.

**No correctness issues.** The patch is safe to apply — it adds latency only in the modeset path, affects only the TC358768 bridge, and has hardware testing confirmation.

This is a single-patch series adding a 20ms `msleep()` delay after PLL setup in the TC358768 DSI bridge driver. The fix addresses a real hardware issue on the TF700T (ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity) where the PLL reports lock but the clock hasn't fully stabilized, resulting in a blank screen.

The change is small, low-risk, and placed at the correct location. The existing `tc358768_setup_pll()` already has a 1-2ms `usleep_range()` for PLL lock, then enables `PLL_CKEN`. The new delay gives the clock output time to settle after `PLL_CKEN` is asserted — a distinct and valid concern from the lock wait itself. The patch has a Tested-by tag on the affected hardware.

**Verdict**: Looks reasonable. One minor concern worth raising.
