This patch series is the result of making the ssd1307fb driver work with
a Newhaven OLED display using the Solomon SSD1305 controller. To achieve
this the intialization code for the SSD1306 and the SSD1307 is merged
and based on device tree configuration. This gets rid of the magic bit
values that were used so far.
Based on these changes it was straight forward to add support for the
SSD1305 controller.

While working with the driver I realized that it was not possible to
correctly mmap the video memory from userspace since the memory
reserved by kzalloc is not page aligned. This problem is fixed by
using vmalloc as it is done inthe vfb driver.

Furthermore module parameters are added to set the bits per pixel
and the delay for the deferred io update. It makes sense to set
the bits per pixel for the video memory to 8 bits since there is
only very poor userspace support for 1 bit framebuffers.

Also sysfs handles are added to make the contrast settings and dim
mode setting available in userspace.

Thomas Niederprüm (8):
Documentation: dts: add missing Solomon Systech vendor prefix.

It makes sense to use vmalloc to allocate the video buffer since it has to be page aligned memory for using it with
mmap. Also deffered io seems buggy in combination with kmalloc'ed memory (crash on unloading the module).

This patch adds a module parameter 'bitsperpixel' to adjust the colordepth
of the framebuffer. All values >1 will result in memory map of the requested
color depth. However only the MSB of each pixel will be sent to the device.
The framebuffer identifies itself as a grayscale display with the specified
depth.

This patch adds the module parameter "delaydivider" to set delay for the
deferred io. Effectively this is setting the refresh rate for mmap access
to the framebuffer. The delay for the deferred io is HZ/delaydivider.

This patch adds sysfs handles to enable userspace control over the display
contrast as well as the dim mode. The handles are available as "contrast"

Hi,
I'm sorry, but this is the wrong approach, for at least two reasons:
you broke all existing users of that driver, which is a clear no-go,
and the DT itself should not contain any direct mapping of the
registers.

I'm not sure this is the right thing to do.

The bits per pixel for this display is rightfully defined, used and
reported to the userspace, why would you want to change that?

Please wrap your commit log at 80 chars.

It looks like there's numerous fbdev drivers using this (especially
since you copy pasted that code, without mentionning it).

That should be turned into an allocator so that drivers all get this
right.

And maybe that's the real issue to fix.

I'm not really sure it makes sense to mark all pages reserved if we're
not even sure we're going to use mmap.

And why do you need to mark these pages reserved in the first place?
Why are you changing from virtual to physical address here?

So this is actually a refresh rate?

Maybe you could expose it as such, and pass a frequency in Hz as an
argument.

Exposing the divider directly has some issues, since the bootloader
that set the parameter won't know the HZ value, you'll end up with
different rates for different configurations, without any way to do
something about it.

I would have thought this was something accessible through the
framebuffer ioctl.

Apparently it's not, at least for the contrast, so maybe it should be
added there, instead of doing it for a single driver?

(oh, and btw, every sysfs file should be documented in
Documentation/ABI)

sysfs_create_groups does pretty much that already.

And don't forget to remove these files in the .remove()

I don't think we really care about the return value here.

It might be even worse actually, since you'll end up in a intermediate
state, where you won't have freed everything, but your remove method
has been called still.

Unfortunately this is true. The problem is that the SSD130X controllers
allow for a very versatile wiring of the display to the controller.
It's over to the manufacturer of the OLED module (disp+controller) to
decide how it's actually wired and during device initialization the
driver has to take care to configure the SSD130X controller according
to that wiring. If the driver fails to do so you will end up having
your display showing garbage. Unfortunately the current sate of the
initialization code of the ssd1307fb driver is not very flexible in that
respect. Taking a look at the initialization code for the ssd1306 shows
that it was written with one very special display module in mind. Most
of the magic bit values set there are non-default values according to
the datasheet. The result is that the driver works with that one
particular display module but many other (differently wired) display
modules using a ssd1306 controller won't work without changing the
hardcoded magic bit values.

My idea here was to set all configuration to the default values (as
given in the datasheet) unless it is overwritten by DT. Of course,
without a change in DT, this breaks the driver for all existing users.
The only alternative would be to set the current values as default.
Somehow this feels wrong to me as these values look arbitrary when you
don't know what exact display module they were set for. But if you
insist, I will change the default values.

I think I don't get what you mean here. Is it because I do no sanity
checks of the numbers set in DT? I was just looking for a way to hand
over the information about the wiring of display to the driver. How
would you propose to solve this?

Hi,
I have the exact same challenge with the staging/fbtft drivers.
I have asked about this on the DT list a couple of days ago, but no
answer yet:

Can I do register initialization from Device Tree?

Yes, I should have mentioned that in the commit message. As
implicitly indicated in the cover letter the rvmalloc() and rvfree() are
copy pasted from the vfb driver. Honestly, I didn't give this one too
much thought. It seemed a viable solution to the mmap problem. For a
bit more history on that, see my comment below.

The problem is solved by using vmalloc ;)
Oh, good catch! This is still a residual of my attempts to get this
working with kmalloc'ed memory. In the current state the driver is
presenting a completely wrong memory address upon mmap. As reported in
[0] info->fix.smem_start has to hold the physical address of the video
memory if it was allocated using kmalloc. Correcting this let me run
into the problem that the kmalloc'ed memory was not page aligned but,
the memory address handed to userspace mmap was aligned to the next
full page, resulting in an inaccessable display region. At that point I
just copied the vmalloc approach from the vfb driver.

You are right of course. The display is 1bpp and it reports to be 1
bpp. The problem is that there is almost no userspace library that can
handle 1 bit framebuffers correctly. So it is nice if the framebuffer
(optionally) can expose itself as 8 bits per pixel grayscale to the
userspace program. As an example this allows to run DirectFB on the
framebuffer, which is not possible out of the box for 1bpp.

Also note that if do not set the module parameter at load time
the framebuffer will be 1bpp. So you have to actively set that module
parameter to make the framebuffer pretend to be more than 1bpp.

In any case I don't cling to that patch, I just thought it was a nice
feature.

On a general basis, because the structure is shared by all the
instances of the driver, so it's usually not such a good idea to mix
the static declaration of the structure and the dynamic one.

From a more fundamental point of view, because this parameter will
most likely be different from one instance to another?

Even though we are facing the same problem here, yours is much harder
than mine, since I have much more knowledge about the controller.
Therefor I have no need to completely expose the registers for
initialization. I just define all configurable options that the
controller has in DT and let the driver take care to write the
corresponding register values during initialization. Of course this
needs the exact knowledge of the configuration options of the controller
as well as register addresses of these options in the driver. So I have
the fear that this approach does not scale for a driver handling
different controllers.

Yep, but why do you need to mark the reserved pages?

And the documentation of fb_fix_screeninfo indeed state that this

How so?

Does it depend on the X, or can it change from one same controller to
another? to what extent?

The 1306 for example seems to not be using these values at all, while
the 1307 does.

Unfortunately, the DT bindings are to be considered an ABI, and we
should support booting with older DTs (not that I personally care
about it, but that's another issue). So we really don't have much
choice here.

Moreover, that issue left aside, modifying bindings like this without
fixing up the in-tree users is considered quite rude :)

What I meant was that replicating direct registers value is usually a
recipe for a later failure, especially if we can have the information
under a generic and easy to understand manner.

For example, replacing the solomon,dclk-div and solomon,dclk-frq
properties by a clock-frequency property in Hz, and computing the
divider and that register in your driver is usually better, also
because it allows to have different requirements / algorithms to
compute that if some other chip needs it.

The DT is just an hardware representation, and should not contain any
logic. Any attempts at doing so have been failures, mostly because
that kind of construct are really fragile.

What would happen if at some point some new controller pops up and
need to poke a GPIO before every write?

Every driver should contain all the needed code to initialise properly
its hardware. The only exception being stuff that are volatile by
essence, like bus addresses, GPIOs, etc.

In your case, using (and maybe extending) the generic panel bindings
look like a better way forward.

As far as I understood mmaped memory is marked as userspace memory in
the page table and is therefore subject to swapping. The pages are
marked reserved to make clear that this memory can not be swapped and
thus lock the pages in memory. See discussions [0,1,2].

I'd say that the right fix would be to patch DirectFB, instead of
faking that in the kernel.

But again, that's probably Tomi's call, not mine.

One good example is the segment remap. It basically allows to invert the
order of the output pins connecting to the oled panel. This gives the
manufacturer of the module the freedom wire it the one way or the
other, depending on the PCB restrictions/panel layout (Section 10.1.12
of [0], 10.1.8 in [1], 9.1.8 in [2]). However, once the panel is
connected to the controller it's determined whether the segment remap
is needed or not. Setting the segment remap as done in the current
initialization code for ssd1306 and ssd1307 makes my display module
show it's contents mirrored left to right, probably since the
manufacturer decided not to connect the panel in an inverted order.

The same applies to the com-alt, com-lrremap and com-invdir values,
which define different possibilities for the COM signals pin
configuration (Section 10.1.26 of [0], 10.1.18 in [1], 9.1.18 in [2])
and readout direction of the video memory (Section 10.1.21 of [0],
10.1.14 in [1], 9.1.14 in [2]). Setting com-alt incorrectly leaves
every other line of the display blank. Setting com-lrremap incorrectly
produces a very distorted image. Setting com-invdir incorrectly flips
the image upside down.

IMHO at least these four hardware-specific properties need to be known
to the driver in order to initialize the hardware correctly.

Unfortunately I do not posses any hardware utilizing a ssd1306 or
ssd1307 controller. My primary and only target device is a Newhaven
NHD-3.12-25664UCB2 OLED display module using an SSD1305 controller. I
just inferred from the datasheets of ssd1306/7 [1,2] that they should
behave the same since the registers are bit to bit identical (except
for the VHCOM register). Maybe that was a bit too naive :/

That is surprising. In that case I would like to ask the guys from
Solomon why they describe all these options in the SSD1306 datasheet
[1]. But in any case, isn't that good news for the problem of setting
the default values. When the 1306 isn't using these values anyway we can
not break the initialization by setting different default values. In
this case the problem of the default values boils down to the segment
remap only since this is set in the init code of the 1307, while the
default would be to leave it off.

I didn't intend to be rude, sorry. A quick search revealed that there
is luckily only one in-tree user, which is imx28-cfa10036.dts. In case
it will be necessary I will include a patch to fix this.

I'll give that a try, even though that particular one is not trivial
since the documentation on the actual frequency that is set by the
dclk-freq is very poor (not present for 1306/1307 [1,2], just a graph
for 1305 [0]).

For the properties describing the hardware pin configuration (see above)
I see no real alternative. Maybe they can all be covered by one DT
property like:
solomon,com-cfg = PINCFG_SEGREMAP | PINCFG_COMALT | PINCFG_COMINV |
PINCFG_COMLRRM
each PINCFG_* setting one bit. The driver will then translate this into
the correct settings for the 130X registers. The only problem here is
that this implicitly assumes the default values of each bit to be 0.

I would guess it's a rather safe assumption.

Indeed.
Please do (and fix the bindings Documentation too).
A property that would be here or not is better. You can have all the
defaults you want, it's more clear in the DT, and you don't need the
macros.

This patch adds sysfs handles to enable userspace control over the display
contrast as well as the dim mode. The handles are available as "contrast"
and "dim" in the brightness group of the framebuffers sysfs domain.

This patch adds a module parameter 'bitsperpixel' to adjust the colordepth
of the framebuffer. All values >1 will result in memory map of the requested
color depth. However only the MSB of each pixel will be sent to the device.
The framebuffer identifies itself as a grayscale display with the specified
depth.

It makes sense to use vmalloc to allocate the video buffer since it has to be
page aligned memory for using it with mmap. Also deffered io seems buggy in
combination with kmalloc'ed memory (crash on unloading the module).

The SSD130X controllers are very similar from the configuration point of view.
The configuration registers for the SSD1305/6/7 are bit identical (except the
the VHCOM register and the the default values for clock setup register). This
patch unifies the init code of the controller and adds hardware specific
properties to DT that are needed to correctly initialize the device.

The SSD130X can be wired to the OLED panel in various ways. Even for the
same controller this wiring can differ from one display module to another
and can not be probed by software. The added DT properties reflect these
hardware decisions of the display module manufacturer.
The 'com-sequential', 'com-lrremap' and 'com-invdir' values define different
possibilities for the COM signals pin configuration and readout direction
of the video memory. The 'segment-remap' allows the inversion of the memory-
to-pin mapping ultimately inverting the order of the controllers output pins.
The 'prechargepX' values need to be adapted according the capacitance of the
OLEDs pixel cells.

So far these hardware specific bits are hard coded in the init code, making
the driver usable only for one certain wiring of the controller. This patch
makes the driver usable with all possible hardware setups, given a valid hw
description in DT. If the values are not set in DT the default values
according to the controllers datasheet are assumed. This implies that this
patch changes the existing behaviour with respect to the segment remap for
the SSD1307 when the corresponding property is not present in DT. The example
in the DT bindings documentation is updated to reflect this change.

Note that the SSD1306 does not seem to be using the configuration written to
the registers at all. Nevertheless an example is added to the DT bindings
documentation that would lead to the same configuration as the current init
code.

the smem_start pointer of the framebuffer info struct needs to hold the
physical address rather than the virtual address. This patch fixes a
driver crash on mmaping the framebuffer memory due to an access to the
memory address.

Note however that the memory allocated by kzalloc is not page aligned,
while the address presented on a mmap call is aligned to the next page
boudary.

This patch series is the result of making the ssd1307fb driver work with
a Newhaven OLED display using the Solomon SSD1305 controller. To achieve
this the intialization code for the SSD1306 and the SSD1307 is merged
and based on DT configuration to reflect to various possible wirings
of the SSD130X controller (04/10). Based on these changes it is straight
forward to add support for the SSD1305 controller (05/10).

While working on the driver I realized that it was not possible to
correctly mmap the video memory from userspace since the address handed
to the userspace app is a virtual one where it should be a physical one.
Patch 01/10 fixes this. Furthermore the memory reserved by kzalloc is
not page aligned while the address handed to userspace is aligned to the
next page frame. This problem is fixed by using vmalloc in 02/10.

Furthermore module parameters are added to set the bits per pixel
and the delay for the deferred io update. It makes sense to set
the bits per pixel for the video memory to 8 bits since there is
only very poor userspace support for 1 bit framebuffers.

Also sysfs handles are added to make the contrast settings and dim
mode setting available in userspace.

changes since v1 (thanks to Maxime for the feedback):
- dedicated patch for fixing smem_start address
- remove page reserve upon vmalloc
- remove return value check upon display turn-off at module unload
- use a module parameter refreshrate rather than delaydivider
- allocate fbdefio dynamically
- use sysfs_create_groups to create sysfs entries
- remove contrast, vhcom and dclk properties from DT since they are
not part of hw description. The contrast module parameter was added
to set contrast at load time. vhcom and dclk stays at it's default
values for now.
- add new DT properties to in tree users of ssd130X
- rebased to apply on top of linux-nextThis patch series is the result of making the ssd1307fb driver work with

Unfortunately, this is not a reasonable thing to do, even if you fix
the existing user, there's still the case where you have an older DT
with a newer kernel.

Keeping (and documenting) the previous defaults is the only easy way
to support this.

a space around the operator.

I'm not so sure this is a good solution, since you might perfectly
want to have an SSD1305 with a refreshrate of 1Hz, and an SSD1306 with
a refreshrate of 20Hz.

Unfortunately, beside sysfs, I don't really have a better suggestion.

Thanks!

the smem_start pointer of the framebuffer info struct needs to hold the
physical address rather than the virtual address. This patch fixes a
driver crash on mmaping the framebuffer memory due to an access to the
memory address.

Note however that the memory allocated by kzalloc is not page aligned,
while the address presented on a mmap call is aligned to the next page
boudary.

It makes sense to use vmalloc to allocate the video buffer since it has to be
page aligned memory for using it with mmap. Also deffered io seems buggy in
combination with kmalloc'ed memory (crash on unloading the module).

The 130X controllers are very similar from the configuration point of view.
The configuration registers for the SSD1305/6/7 are bit identical (except the
the VHCOM register and the the default values for clock setup register). This
patch unifies the init code of the controller and adds hardware specific
properties to DT that are needed to correctly initialize the device.

The SSD130X can be wired to the OLED panel in various ways. Even for the
same controller this wiring can differ from one display module to another
and can not be probed by software. The added DT properties reflect these
hardware decisions of the display module manufacturer.
The 'com-sequential', 'com-lrremap' and 'com-invdir' values define different
possibilities for the COM signals pin configuration and readout direction
of the video memory. The 'segment-no-remap' allows the inversion of the
memory-to-pin mapping ultimately inverting the order of the controllers
output pins. The 'prechargepX' values need to be adapted according the
capacitance of the OLEDs pixel cells.

So far these hardware specific bits are hard coded in the init code, making
the driver usable only for one certain wiring of the controller. This patch
makes the driver usable with all possible hardware setups, given a valid hw
description in DT. If these values are not set in DT the default values,
as they are set in the ssd1307 init code right now, are used. This implies
that without the corresponding DT property "segment-no-remap" the segment
remap of the ssd130X controller gets activated. Even though this is not the
default behaviour according to the datasheet it maintains backward
compatibility with older DTBs.

Note that the SSD1306 does not seem to be using the configuration written to
the registers at all. Therefore this patch does not try to maintain these
values without changes in DT. For reference an example is added to the DT
bindings documentation that reproduces the configuration that is set in the
current init code.

This patch series is the result of making the ssd1307fb driver work with
a Newhaven OLED display using the Solomon SSD1305 controller. To achieve
this the intialization code for the SSD1306 and the SSD1307 is merged
and based on DT configuration to reflect the various possible wirings
of the SSD130X controller (04/10). Based on these changes it is straight
forward to add support for the SSD1305 controller (06/10).
changes since v2 (thanks to Maxime again):
- free memory allocated by vmalloc on driver unload
- set default values in the init code to the ones of the existing ssd1307
init code
- added two ACKs (Maxime Ripard)

Thomas Niederprüm (10):
fbdev: ssd1307fb: fix memory address smem_start.
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Use vmalloc to allocate video memory.
of: Add Solomon Systech vendor prefix.
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Unify init code and obtain hw specific bits from DT
ARM: mxs: fix in tree users of ssd1306
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Add support for SSD1305
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Add module parameter to set refresh rate of the
display
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Add module parameter bitsperpixel.
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Add sysfs handles to expose contrast and dim setting
to userspace.
fbdev: ssd1307fb: Turn off display on driver unload.

of the framebuffer. All values >1 will result in memory map of the requested
color depth. However only the MSB of each pixel will be sent to the device.
The framebuffer identifies itself as a grayscale display with the specified
depth.

Right, I'm not thrilled =). I don't think it's a good idea to lie to the
userspace (except when fixing regressions).

We have backlight and contrast already in backlight-class and lcd-class
(drivers/video/backlight/backlight.c and drivers/video/backlight/lcd.c).
Are those something that could be used here instead of custom sysfs files?

Why is it a problem if it is swapped? Only CPU uses the memory, as far
as I can see.

Also, isn't doing __pa() for the memory returned by vmalloc plain wrong?

What was the crash about when using kmalloc? It would be good to fix
defio, as I don't see why it should not work with kmalloced memory.

The main challenge here is that the memory handed to userspace upon
mmap call needs to be page aligned. The memory returned by kmalloc has
no such alignment, but the pointer presented to the userspace program
gets aligned to next page boundary. It's not clear to me whether there
is an easy way to obtain page aligned kmalloc memory. Memory
allocated by vmalloc on the other hand is always aligned to page
boundaries. This is why I chose to go for vmalloc.

__get_free_pages()?

Currently the videomemory is allocated by kmalloc, making it a memory
region that is not necessarily page aligend. This leads to problems
upon mmap call, where the video memory's address gets aligned to the
next page boundary. The result is that the userspace program that issued
the mmap call is not able to access the video memory from the start to
the next page boundary.

This patch changes the allocation of the video memory to use
__get_free_pages() in order to obtain memory that is aligned
to page boundaries.

This patch series is the result of making the ssd1307fb driver work with
a Newhaven OLED display using the Solomon SSD1305 controller. To achieve
this the intialization code for the SSD1306 and the SSD1307 is merged
and based on DT configuration to reflect the various possible wirings
of the SSD130X controller (04/10). Based on these changes it is straight
forward to add support for the SSD1305 controller (06/10).

While working on the driver I realized that it was not possible to
correctly mmap the video memory from userspace since the address handed
to the userspace app is a logical one where it should be a physical one.
Patch 01/10 fixes this. Furthermore the memory reserved by kzalloc is
not page aligned while the address handed to userspace is aligned to the
next page frame. This problem is fixed by using __get_free_pages() in 02/10.

Furthermore a module parameter is added to set the delay for the
deferred io update (07/10). Also the backlight class is implemented to make
the contrast setting available in userspace (09/10).

changes since v1 (thanks to Maxime for the feedback):
- dedicated patch for fixing smem_start address
- remove page reserve upon vmalloc
- remove return value check upon display turn-off at module unload
- use a module parameter refreshrate rather than delaydivider
- allocate fbdefio dynamically
- use sysfs_create_groups to create sysfs entries
- remove contrast, vhcom and dclk properties from DT since they are
not part of hw description. The contrast module parameter was added
to set contrast at load time. vhcom and dclk stays at it's default
values for now.
- add new DT properties to in tree users of ssd130X
- rebased to apply on top of linux-next

changes since v2 (thanks to Maxime again):
- free memory allocated by vmalloc on driver unload
- set default values in the init code to the ones of the existing ssd1307
init code
- added two ACKs (Maxime Ripard)

changes since v3:
- use backlight class rather than dedicated sysfs files to set the
contrast (Thanks to Tomi Valkeinen)
- remove [PATCHv3 08/10] fbdev: ssd1307fb: Add module parameter bitsperpixel
- add new patch to blank the display (unreviewed)
- allocate video memory through __get_free_pages() rather than vmalloc
(Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven)
- minor rewordings of the commit messages

the smem_start pointer of the framebuffer info struct needs to hold the
physical address rather than the logical address. Right now the logical
address returned by kmalloc is stored. This patch converts this address
to a physical address and thus fixes a driver crash on mmaping the
framebuffer memory due to an access to the wrong memory address.

This patch adds the module parameter "refreshrate" to set delay for the
deferred io. The refresh rate is given in units of Hertz. The default
refresh rate is 1 Hz. The refresh rate set through the newly introduced
parameter applies to all instances of the driver and for now it is not
possible to change it individually.

Documenting the offset unit would be fine.
Why is this patch adding a contrast parameter? You don't even mention
it in your commit log. This should be a separate patch.
It would make more sense to assign the variable where you use it.

Do we need this ID? Wouldn't it make more sense to pass the pointer to
the struct we need to use?

I'm not that experienced with mem management, so I have to ask...
__get_free_pages() probably works fine, but isn't vmalloc better here?

__get_free_pages() will give you possibly a lot more memory than you
need. And the memory is contiguous, so it could be difficult to allocate
a larger memory area. The driver doesn't need contiguous memory (except
in the virtual sense).

I was responding to the question about obtaining page aligned kmalloc
memory.
If it doesn't need to be physically contiguous, vmalloc() is fine.

vmalloc also returns pages, so the size will be page-aligned. It
doesn't make much of a difference here, since we will only use a
single page in both case (the max resolution of these screens is
128x39, with one bit per pixel).

In that case I recommend get_zeroed_page(), to avoid the vmalloc()
overhead of setting up a mapping.

Ok, that's not much, then =).

In that case __get_free_pages sounds fine. Even if the resolution would
be slightly higher, we're only talking about a page or two extra.

Usually double-underscore in front of a func means "don't call this". I
don't know why this one has the underscores.

I looked into get_zeroed_page() too but I thought __get_free_pages()
might be more future proof since get_zeroed_page() will not reserve
enough memory if more than one page is needed. This might occur if a new
controller pops up that has more pixels than bits in a page or the
driver is used on a system with a small page size. Also
get_zeroed_page() is also just calling __get_free_pages() with the
order parameter set to 0. Therefore I think a call like

__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, get_order(size))

does the same as get_zeroed_page() if only one page is needed but has
the ability to reserve more pages if needed.

It's written the wrong way and the right way in the same line :) Of

This irritated me as well. But since it turned out that there is even a
section on "get_free_page and Friends" in LDD3 that talks about
__get_free_pages() without any word of caution, I assumed it's ok to
call this functions.

The com-offset determines which line of the display panel should
receive the first line of video memory. When designing your display
module you could decide to do something crazy and connect the first
lines of your panel to (for example) pin COM32 onward. By setting the
com-offset to 32 you could still recover the correct image on your
panel. So in some sense the unit of the com-offset is display lines or
number of pins, depending on whether you see it from the controller
side or from the panel side. I will update the documentation to reflect
this.
I agree, this should disappear or go into another patch. Since the
contrast can also be set through the backlight class, I wonder whether
it is useful to keep this module parameter. I'm using it right now to
set the initial contrast as in my use case I almost always want the
smallest possible contrast setting. In any case I will split this into
I will move the assignment right in front of the write command.
Im surprised that I didn't see that myself, because the way it
highlighted is hard to miss. However, thank you for catching this.
Are you talking about the device_id inside the struct
ssd1307_deviceinfo? I need the device_id to serve special needs of the
individual controllers during initialization. For example the ssd1307
needs to set up the pwm in the init code.

Then you can add a bool in the structure to say whether it needs a PWM
or not.

This patch adds the module parameter "refreshrate" to set delay for the
deferred io. The refresh rate is given in units of Hertz. The default
refresh rate is 1 Hz. The refresh rate set through the newly introduced
parameter applies to all instances of the driver and for now it is not
possible to change it individually.

The 130X controllers are very similar from the configuration point of view.
The configuration registers for the SSD1305/6/7 are bit identical (except the
the VHCOM register and the the default values for clock setup register). This
patch unifies the init code of the controller and adds hardware specific
properties to DT that are needed to correctly initialize the device.

The SSD130X can be wired to the OLED panel in various ways. Even for the
same controller this wiring can differ from one display module to another
and can not be probed by software. The added DT properties reflect these
hardware decisions of the display module manufacturer.
The 'com-sequential', 'com-lrremap' and 'com-invdir' values define different
possibilities for the COM signals pin configuration and readout direction
of the video memory. The 'segment-no-remap' allows the inversion of the
memory-to-pin mapping ultimately inverting the order of the controllers
output pins. The 'prechargepX' values need to be adapted according to the
capacitance of the OLEDs pixel cells.

So far these hardware specific bits are hard coded in the init code, making
the driver usable only for one certain wiring of the controller. This patch
makes the driver usable with all possible hardware setups, given a valid hw
description in DT. If these values are not set in DT the default values,
as they are set in the ssd1307 init code right now, are used. This implies
that without the corresponding DT property "segment-no-remap" the segment
remap of the ssd130X controller gets activated. Even though this is not the
default behaviour according to the datasheet it maintains backward
compatibility with older DTBs.

Note that the SSD1306 does not seem to be using the configuration written to
the registers at all. Therefore this patch does not try to maintain these
values without changes in DT. For reference an example is added to the DT
bindings documentation that reproduces the configuration that is set in the
current init code.

to
the smem_start pointer of the framebuffer info struct needs to hold the
physical address rather than the logical address. Right now the logical
address returned by kmalloc is stored. This patch converts this address
to a physical address and thus fixes a driver crash on mmaping the
framebuffer memory due to an access to the wrong memory address.

Currently the videomemory is allocated by kmalloc, making it a memory
region that is not necessarily page aligend. This leads to problems
upon mmap call, where the video memory's address gets aligned to the
next page boundary. The result is that the userspace program that issued
the mmap call is not able to access the video memory from the start to
the next page boundary.

This patch changes the allocation of the video memory to use
__get_free_pages() in order to obtain memory that is aligned
to page boundaries.
