[PATCH] arm64: dts: qcom: sc7180: Switch pompom to the generic edp-panel

From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Wed Dec 13 2023 - 19:36:00 EST


Pompom has several sources for its panel. Let's switch it to the
generic edp-panel compatible string to account for this.

This fixes a problem where the panel wouldn't come up on some pompon
devices after commit fb3f43d50d9b ("drm/panel-edp: Avoid adding
multiple preferred modes"). Specifically, some models of pompom have a
1920x1080 panel which is _very_ different than the 1366x768 panel
specified in the dts. Before the recent panel-edp fix on Linux things
kinda/sorta worked because the panel-edp driver would include both the
hardcoded and probed mode, AKA:

* #0 1920x1080
60.00 1920 1944 1960 2000 1080 1083 1088 1111 133320
flags: nhsync, nvsync; type: preferred, driver
* #1 1366x768
60.00 1366 1406 1438 1500 768 773 778 900 81000
flags: nhsync, nvsync; type: preferred, driver

...and, at least on ChromeOS, the userspace was consistently picking
the first mode even though both were marked as "preferred". Now that
the Linux driver is fixed we only get the hardcoded mode. That means
we end up trying to drive a 1920x1080 panel at 1366x768 and it doesn't
work so well.

Let's switch over to the generic panel-edp.

Techhnically we could put a "Fixes" in for the commits that added the
pompom device tree, but that gets a little weird. Specifically the
pompom device tree predates the introduction of the generic edp-panel
bindings. Older pompom hardware always had 1366x768 compatible panels
and worked fine so techncially those old commits weren't really
"broken" per say and thus don't need to be "fixed".

For now, I've marked this a fixing the Linux driver commit that broke
ChromeOS userspace.
