2012-02-08	staging: drm/omap: add drm_plane support	Rob Clark
	Because framebuffer layer and overlay scanout video pipes are basically thing in OMAP display subsystem (the only difference being that the first video pipe does not support scaling or YUV formats), much of the CRTC code is pulled into the plane implementation, and a private plane object is used by the CRTC object. This avoids code duplication between the plane and CRTC. Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <rob@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2011-12-08	drm/omap: DMM/TILER support for OMAP4+ platform	Andy Gross
	Dynamic Memory Manager (DMM) is a hardware block in the OMAP4+ processor that contains at least one TILER instance. TILER, or Tiling and Isometric Lightweight Engine for Rotation, provides IOMMU capabilities through the use of a physical address translation table. The TILER also provides zero cost rotation and mirroring. The TILER provides both 1D and 2D access by providing different views or address ranges that can be used to access the physical memory that has been mapped in through the PAT. Access to the 1D view results in linear access to the underlying memory. Access to the 2D views result in tiled access to the underlying memory resulted in increased efficiency. The TILER address space is managed by a tiler container manager (TCM) and allocates the address space through the use of the Simple Tiler Allocation algorithm (SiTA). The purpose of the algorithm is to keep fragmentation of the address space as low as possible.

2011-11-26	staging: add omapdrm DRM/KMS driver for TI OMAP platforms	Rob Clark
	A DRM display driver for TI OMAP platform. Similar to omapfb (fbdev) and omap_vout (v4l2 display) drivers in the past, this driver uses the DSS2 driver to access the display hardware, including support for HDMI, DVI, and various types of LCD panels. And it implements GEM support for buffer allocation (for KMS as well as offscreen buffers used by the xf86-video-omap userspace xorg driver). The driver maps CRTCs to overlays, encoders to overlay-managers, and connectors to dssdev's. Note that this arrangement might change slightly when support for drm_plane overlays is added. For GEM support, non-scanout buffers are using the shmem backed pages provided by GEM core (In drm_gem_object_init()). In the case of scanout buffers, which need to be physically contiguous, those are allocated with CMA and use drm_gem_private_object_init(). See userspace xorg driver: git://github.com/robclark/xf86-video-omap.git Refer to this link for CMA (Continuous Memory Allocator): http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/8/19/302 Links to previous versions of the patch: v1: http://lwn.net/Articles/458137/ v2: http://patches.linaro.org/4156/ v3: http://patches.linaro.org/4688/ v4: http://patches.linaro.org/4791/ History: v5: move headers from include/drm at Greg KH's request, minor rebasing on 3.2-rc1, pull in private copies of drm_gem_{get,put}_pages() because "drm/gem: add functions to get/put pages" patch is not merged yet v4: bit of rework of encoder/connector _dpms() code, modeset_init() rework to not use nested functions, update TODO.txt v3: minor cleanups, improved error handling for dev_load(), some minor API changes that will be needed later for tiled buffer support v2: replace omap_vram with CMA for scanout buffer allocation, remove unneeded functions, use dma_addr_t for physical addresses, error handling cleanup, refactor attach/detach pages into common drm functions, split non-userspace-facing API into omap_priv.h, remove plugin API v1: original Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <rob@ti.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
