Due to a recent introduction of the pre_enable_prev_first bridge flag [1],

Ensure that DSI is enabled before panel probe by setting the
prepare_prev_first flag for the panel.

Well this is specific to MSM DSI driver, it's not related at all to the panel.


I dont fully agree this is a MSM DSI driver specific thing.

If the panel can send its commands in its enable() callback, then this flag need not be set.

When a panel sends its DCS commands in its pre_enable() callback, any DSI controller will need to be ON before that otherwise DCS commands cannot be sent.

With this in mind, may I know why is this a MSM change and not a panel change?

As per my discussion with Dmitry during the last sync up, we were aligned on this expectation.

Hi Neil,

I think there might be some confusion caused by the commit message -- instead of "enabled before panel probe", it should be "enabled before panel pre_enable()" as the panel on commands are sent during prepare(), which is matched to bridge pre_enable().

IIRC the general rule is that the panel driver should set the prepare_prev_first flag if the on commands are sent during pre_enable(), so I'll keep the code change but correct the commit message if that's ok with you.

Thanks,


Jessica Zhang
