Default memory settings of da850 do not meet the throughput/latency
requirements of tilcdc. This results in the image displayed being
incorrect and the following warning being displayed by the LCDC
drm driver:

  tilcdc da8xx_lcdc.0: tilcdc_crtc_irq(0x00000020): FIFO underfow

Reconfigure the LCDC priority to the highest. This is a workaround
for the da850-lcdk board which has the LCD controller enabled in
the device tree, but a long-term, system-wide fix is needed for
all davinci boards.

This patch has been modified for mainline linux. It comes from a
downstream TI release for da850[1].

Hi Karl,

I decided to post the simplest possible way of this to get the lcdc
working upstream. In parallel I'm working on a system-wide way of
applying such quirks not only limited to device tree nodes' presence.
Thanks for the info!

Best regards,

Just ran a quick test with speaker-test -c2 -twav. Besides the fact
that the left and right channels are inverted (I'm looking into that),
I didn't notice any problems. Even at 1024x768 resolution, playing
audio at the same time seems to work fine.

Good point, Peter. If you are booting off NFS and not playing any audio,
then there is pretty much no EDMA generated traffic on the interconnect.

I would guess too that its the PBBPR setting that is making a
difference. The EDMA vs LCDC priority adjustment might be needed in
particular situations too, but specific experiments should be done to
narrow down on that being the cause.

In any case, to configure the PBBR, you will have to introduce a driver
for it in drivers/memory. Then you can set it up per board using a DT
parameter.

Thanks,
Sekhar

Did you mean "set EDMA31TC0 to priority 2"? EDMA30TC0 is already at
the highest priority. Or did you mean that we need to lower the
EDMA30TC0 priority? In that case: is 2 the correct value? EDMA31TC0 is
used by mmc1 and its priority is 4. Shouldn't we set both to be the
same?

While it seems that lowering the EDMA30TC0 priority is indeed
unnecessary, if I don't set the LCDC master to priority 0, I still get
FIFO underflows even with the change in PBBPR.

We don't have pdata quirks handling in mach-davinci. And I think instead
of investing time in adding pdata quirks which are anyway a short term
solution, it is better to work on a drivers/bus/ based driver which can
help adjust master priorities via DT.

Although as Peter asked, it is indeed intriguing as to why LCDC priority
has to be raised even in supposed absence of any competing traffic.

Thanks,
Sekhar
