[PATCH v3 1/5] pwm-backlight: enable/disable the PWM before/after LCD enable toggle.

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-17 21:28:28

Before this patch the enable signal was set before the PWM signal and
vice-versa on power off. I guess that this sequence is wrong, at least,
it is on the different panels datasheets that I checked, so I inverted
the sequence to follow the specs.

[PATCH v3 2/5] dt-bindings: pwm-backlight: add PWM delay proprieties.

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-17 21:28:31

Hardware needs a delay between setting an initial (non-zero) PWM and
enabling the backlight using GPIO. The post-pwm-on-delay-us specifies
this delay in micro seconds. Hardware also needs a delay between disabing
the backlight using GPIO and setting PWM value to 0. The pwm-off-delay-us
is this delay in micro seconds.

Based on the original Huang Lin [off-list ref] work.

Changes since v2:
 - Use separate properties (Rob Herring)
Changes since v1:
 - As suggested by Daniel Thompson
   - Do not assume power-on delay and power-off delay will be the same

[PATCH v3 3/5] pwm-backlight: add support for PWM delays proprieties.

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-17 21:28:34

Some panels (i.e. N116BGE-L41), in their power sequence specifications,
request a delay between set the PWM signal and enable the backlight and
between clear the PWM signal and disable the backlight. Add support for
the new post-pwm-on-delay-us and pwm-off-delay-us proprieties to meet
the timings.

[PATCH v3 4/5] ARM: dts: rockchip: set PWM delay backlight settings for Veyron.

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-17 21:28:40

For veyron the binding should provide both PWM timings, the delay between
you enable the PWM and set the enable signal, and the delay between you
disable the PWM signal and clear the enable signal. Update the binding
accordingly, in this case the panels connected to the veyron boards have
a symmetric power sequence, hence the same value is used.

 - Use new names for proprieties.
Changes since v1:
 - Add this new patch to fix current binding on veyron.

[PATCH v3 5/5] ARM: dts: rockchip: set PWM delay backlight settings for Minnie

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-17 21:28:53

The minnie devices comes with an AUO B101EAN01 panel which is different
from default veyron devices, thus the power on/off timing sequence is
slightly different. The datasheet specifies a pwm delay of 200 ms, so
update the PMW delay proprieties accordingly.

Heiko,
 I'm not able to test this patch in a minnie device because I don't have
one, so could you do a quick try, please?

Changes since v2:
 - Use new names for proprieties.
Changes since v1:
 - Add this new patch as minnie has differents timings

Could you list the part numbers for the panels you checked? Getting that 
in the git history would be really helpful for future archaeologists 
(including me).

Also whilst changing the header I'd also say that "I guess that" does 
not inspire much confidence. It sounds like you have done some homework 
here... surely you've moved past guess work!

Checked again some datasheets and seems that or not require a delay or
the delays are 10ms+, so according to [1] I'll use msleep instead.

The minnie devices comes with an AUO B101EAN01 panel which is different
from default veyron devices, thus the power on/off timing sequence is
slightly different. The datasheet specifies a pwm delay of 200 ms, so
update the PMW delay proprieties accordingly.
Wait a wait a moment!

This is not 200 msec.
Oops, good catch.

Plus, it is quite anti-social to do udelay(200 000).

Plus, it is very anti-socifal to use udelay_range(200msec,
400msec).

Whoever told you udelay_range is good thing to use -- it is not, and
it is certainly not worth making user wait 200msec more!
Checked again some datasheets and seems that or not require a delay or
the delays are 10ms+, so according to [1] I'll use msleep instead.

[1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
Ok, msleep makes sense.

But in such case, you probably want to specify delays in the
miliseconds in the device tree... or at least carefully round the
values up.

Best regards,

msleep() has no wait avoidance[1] and if lots of drivers are reckless 
about sleeping for 10ms it soon starts to show up in the boot time 
(especially optimized ones).

[1] As it happens I can't see that many early bail out paths in
     usleep_range() either.

No, not for msleep.

Well, in usleep_range(1,2) should be fast enough operation, and
usleep_range(0,0) should be similar to usleep_range(1,2) at worst :-).
