Fix DSI PHY HS Trail setting on Tegra.

[this time from the correct email address]

Our timing tests pass now.

Can describe what kinds of timing tests these are? I obviously lack the kind of equipment for this, but I'd still like to know how you get these results.

Hi Thierry,
The test that was failing was the THS-TRAIL test. You can find the details at [1], test is 8.1.13. The time was 7.7ns too short (or 12%, as David stated).

I'm not sure how David arrived at the value he did to extend HS-TRAIL, but that particular test is now passing.

From reading the document that you linked to and comparing to the D-PHY specification (version 1.2, Table 14, Page 40), the proper formula for the HSTrail parameter would be:

	max(n * 8 * period, 60 + n * 4 * period)

I suspect that the additional 3 * period * 8 in this patch is derived from the note about "n", which is 1 for forward-direction high-speed mode and 4 for reverse-direction high-speed mode. Translating this to the code, the correct line would really be:

	timing->hstrail = max(4 * 8 * period, 60 + 4 * 4 * period);

Since the "n" parameter appears in the second term, too. Also this is not Tegra-specific after all, so mipi_dphy_timing_get_default() indeed is the right place for it.

How about the attached patch?

Thierry

Subject: [PATCH] drm/tegra: dsi: Adjust D-PHY timing

Compliance testing shows that HS Trail is off by -12%. Increase the HS Trail time to make this test pass.

The subject prefix should be "drm/tegra: dsi:". Also make sure to use the proper case. "dsi" should be "DSI" and "phy" should be "PHY". Also the DSI PHY is typically referred to as D-PHY, so a better subject would be:

drm/tegra: dsi: Adjust D-PHY timing

Back when I wrote this code I envisioned that this could eventually be a generic set of helpers that could be used across different DSI drivers. As such, mipi_dphy_timing_get_default() obtains the default timings as given by the D-PHY specification. Therefore you should be adjusting this within the driver code rather than the default timings. And then make it something like:

	/* comment explaining why this is needed */
	timing.hstrail += 3 * period * 8;

That said, most of this code is in flux right now, so I probably have to manually apply the patch. It would still be good to respin with these comments addressed so that I can adopt the commit message and comment explaining why this is necessary or what the consequences are.
