The Rk3066 hdmi output format is hard coded to RGB. Remove

I guess my first question is, is the hardcoding happening just because
of missing functionality in the driver, or does the hardware only
support RGB?
This driver can do so much more..., but is crippled by various causes.
If in need for a full functional rk3066 driver a little bit help/advise/action from other people is needed.

1:
Missing rk3066 TRM HDMI register info.
Could Rockchip (= Sandy Huang) disclose this info to the open source community?

The  HDMI on rk3066 is from a IP vendor, so the detail of this IP are not even

include in the TRM.

As it is a chip which is more than 10 yeas old, I contacted the author of the bsp

driver, got some information bellow:

This IP is almost the same with sh_mobile_hdmi, unfortunately, SH-Mobile HDMI drivers

is removed out of mainline in 2015[0], but with a quick look at it, the register definition

is the same as rk3066 hdmi and with more detail description.


[0]https://lkml.kernel.org/stable/20191122100825.930987859@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/


As a way around we can look at older driver code and port to mainline.
More info gives better results.
rk30_hdmi_config_csc() function:
https://github.com/RockchipOpensourceCommunity/px2-android-kernel-3.0/blob/master/drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/chips/rkpx2/rkpx2_hdmi_hw.c#L315

2:
Could DRM people show us examples for:
- How to advertise to the VOP driver what data formats (RGB, YCBCR) it can send to the HDMI driver or any other Rockchip DRM sub driver other then RGB.
- Advertise EDID data monitor modes RGB444, YCBCR444 and YCBCR422 to the HDMI driver.

https://github.com/RockchipOpensourceCommunity/px2-android-kernel-3.0/blob/master/drivers/video/rockchip/hdmi/rk_hdmi_edid.c#L217C1-L218C41


RK3066 vop can only output RGB full range to HDMI, so the full to limit rgb to yuv conversion is done by rk30_hdmi_config_csc.


3:
Advise when what Infoframe is needed for only RGB vs. the rest according to the specification.
https://engineering.purdue.edu/ece477/Archive/2012/Spring/S12-Grp10/Datasheets/CEC_HDMI_Specification.pdf

rk3066 currently only sends avi info. Does it need vsi as well? Can anyone give some clarity here?
inno_hdime sends avi and vsi info.

vsi is used for 3d and hdmi 1.4 format(4K24/25/30, not support by rk3066), or vendor specific data like timecode, dolby,

so as a basic function, we don't need it.


4:
rk3066_hdmi and inno_hdmi are HDMI 1.4a drivers for DVI and HDMI.
Validated by drm_match_cea_mode() this function only gives us both HDMI + HDMI2 focus, but nothing for old DVI monitors.
How to improve?

5:
Sound support was submitted:
Re: [PATCH v6 2/5] drm: rockchip: add sound support to rk3066 hdmi driver
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/48dbe9b7-0aa0-f459-301f-f380e2b7f2f8@xxxxxxxxx/

No reply was given (by Heiko or others) on why it wasn't applied or what needs to be improved.

Without reply no improvement.

Johan

while I can understand the RGB output format, why does the colorimetry
also get removed? This looks like it is dependent on the mode itself
and not the output format?
