During a frame transfer in command mode, there could be frequent
LP11 <-> HS transitions when multiple DCS commands are sent mid-frame or
if the DSI controller is running on slow clock and is throttled. To
minimize frame latency due to these transitions, it is recommended to
send the frame in a single burst.

This feature is supported for DSI 6G 1.3 and above, thus enable burst
mode if supported.

This is not part of the timing setup, and a similar BURST_MODE flag is
enabled for video-mode in dsi_ctrl_config() - should it be moved there?

Hi Marijn,

Sure, I can move the change to dsi_ctrl_enable() instead.


(There is a dsi_sw_reset() in between the calls to dsi_timing_setup()
and dsi_ctrl_cfg())

Note that that function sets up the CMD_CFG0 and CMD_CFG1 register, with
the former having a very similar layout to MDP_CTRL2... is there
documentation outlining the difference?

I see what you mean, but unfortunately I'm not able to give you any documentation about the differences between them.

FWIW, I think the macros in dsi.xml.h should give you a sense of what's within the registers and the slight differences between them.

Thanks,

Jessica Zhang
