Patch Review
This is the main driver patch. Several issues:
**Bug: Typo in MODULE_DESCRIPTION (line 654 of mbox / line 302 of the new file):**
```c
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("DRM driver for Samsubng s6e8fco DSI controller for m1906f9 amoled video mode panel");
```
"Samsubng" should be "Samsung". This is a trivially-fixable typo but should be corrected before merge.
**Questionable: Mode name contains "samsungp" (line 494 of mbox):**
```c
static const struct drm_display_mode s6e8fco_m1906f9_samsungp_mode = {
```
The trailing "p" in `samsungp` looks like a stray character. It should likely just be `s6e8fco_m1906f9_mode` or `s6e8fco_m1906f9_samsung_mode`.
**Observation: Reset GPIO polarity:**
```c
static void s6e8fco_m1906f9_reset(struct s6e8fco_m1906f9_ctx *ctx)
{
gpiod_set_value_cansleep(ctx->reset_gpio, 0);
usleep_range(12000, 13000);
gpiod_set_value_cansleep(ctx->reset_gpio, 1);
usleep_range(2000, 3000);
gpiod_set_value_cansleep(ctx->reset_gpio, 0);
usleep_range(10000, 11000);
}
```
The GPIO is requested as `GPIOD_OUT_HIGH` (asserting reset initially), then the reset sequence de-asserts (0), pulses assert (1), then de-asserts (0). The DTS specifies `GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW`, so the logical and physical levels should be consistent. This looks correct.
**Observation: LPM flag toggling in backlight ops:**
```c
static int s6e8fco_m1906f9_bl_update_status(struct backlight_device *bl)
{
...
dsi->mode_flags &= ~MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM;
ret = mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_brightness_large(dsi, brightness);
...
dsi->mode_flags |= MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM;
return 0;
}
```
This pattern of toggling LPM around brightness commands is used by several existing panel drivers (panel-visionox-rm69299, panel-lg-sw43408, etc.), so it's an accepted pattern, though it isn't thread-safe. This is pre-existing practice, not something to block on.
**Observation: Backlight brightness comment:**
```c
// The downstream dts claims 2047, but seems to ignore the MSB.
.max_brightness = 1023,
```
This comment is helpful and explains the deviation from the downstream value. The use of `mipi_dsi_dcs_set_display_brightness_large` (which sends a 16-bit value) with max 1023 seems reasonable.
**Observation: `MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM` not set initially:**
The driver sets:
```c
dsi->mode_flags = MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO | MIPI_DSI_MODE_VIDEO_BURST |
MIPI_DSI_CLOCK_NON_CONTINUOUS;
```
`MIPI_DSI_MODE_LPM` is never set initially, yet the backlight code adds it back after brightness commands. This means the initial on-sequence commands are sent in HS mode (no LPM), and then after the first backlight update, LPM gets permanently set. This could be intentional but is worth a second look — if LPM should be set from the start, it should be added to the initial mode_flags. If HS mode is desired for all commands, the LPM toggling in the backlight ops is suspicious.
**No issue: The driver uses `devm_drm_panel_alloc`**, which is the modern pattern. Good.
