v2 cover fbdev/ssd1307fb: Some changes and improvement

Changes since first version:
- Cherry-picked "fbdev/ssd1307fb: add support to enable VBAT" again beacuse of weird mixup in the first version
- Also tested the code on top of v4.10-rc3 with am335x-icev2 evm

We needed these changes for couple of our evm. Some of these patches have been on mainline list before, but after that forgotten. Now we are forward porting these on for out internal release, so this is a good time to get them to mainline too.

Everything else is quite straight forward, but removing the reset-active-low dts property is a questionable at least in theory. However, in practice if anyone was using the property in their device-tree blobs, they have never been able to get desired effect with mainline kernel.

Jyri Sarha (3):
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Start to use gpiod API for reset gpio
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Remove reset-active-low from the DT binding document
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Make reset gpio devicetree property optional

PATCH v2 2/5 fbdev: ssd1307fb: Remove reset-active-low from the DT binding document

In reply to a message not in the archive

Remove reset-active-low from the devicetree binding document. The actual implementation has never been there in the driver code and there is no reason to add it because the gpiod API supports gpio flags, including GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW, directly trough its own devicetree binding.

You need to define the active state. Does the active state actually vary? Sounds like the compatible is not specific enough unless some boards have an inverter.

No, I am not aware of the active state ever varying. For some reason someone specified the reset-active-low, but probably in the end it was not needed after all because the implementation was not added.

The only reason I can think of why the reset gpio would need active low flag is very weird board design or broken gpio driver.

Best regards,
Jyri

PATCH v2 3/5 fbdev: ssd1307fb: Make reset gpio devicetree property optional

In reply to a message not in the archive

Make reset gpio devicetree property optional. Depending on the board designing there may not be a dedicated gpio for resetting the display. Without a proper reset there may be some junk in the display memory at probe time, so in such a case the display memory is cleared before turning it on. The devicetree binding document is also updated.

VBAT is for SSD1306. Perhaps the DT doc should mention it.

Datasheet says VBAT is reserved, connect to Vdd. I would just describe Vdd and Vcc in that case.

I'm no HW guy, but as far as I understand, you can wire it up two ways. One has VBAT connected to VDD. The other one has VBAT connected to external supply. See "Figure 1 : Application Example of SSD1306Z with charge bump".

According to the datasheet, SSD1307 has 2 supplies: Vdd and Vcc

I don't see any mention of a charge pump, so that must be an external component.

I should have kept reading...

So either Vdd and Vbat supplies or Vdd and Vcc supplies are valid and the former only applies to 1306.

PATCH v2 5/5 fbdev/ssd1307fb: clear screen in probe

In reply to a message not in the archive

From: Tomi Valkeinen <[email protected]>

SSD1306 does not clear the panel's framebuffer automatically, even if a HW reset happens, so we need to do that at probe time before enabling the panel.

Hi,

Quoted 21 lines · Jyri Sarha

Changes since first version:
- Cherry-picked "fbdev/ssd1307fb: add support to enable VBAT" again beacuse of weird mixup in the first version
- Also tested the code on top of v4.10-rc3 with am335x-icev2 evm

We needed these changes for couple of our evm. Some of these patches have been on mainline list before, but after that forgotten. Now we are forward porting these on for out internal release, so this is a good time to get them to mainline too.

Everything else is quite straight forward, but removing the reset-active-low dts property is a questionable at least in theory. However, in practice if anyone was using the property in their device-tree blobs, they have never been able to get desired effect with mainline kernel.

Jyri Sarha (3):
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Start to use gpiod API for reset gpio
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Remove reset-active-low from the DT binding document
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Make reset gpio devicetree property optional
