Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] drm/tiny: Add RAiO RA8875 display controller driver support
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 22:53:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924145400.1385815-1-azuddinadam@gmail.com> (raw)

This series adds a new drm/tiny driver and matching dt-binding for the
RAiO RA8875 SPI display controller. An fbtft driver for this chip
currently exists at drivers/staging/fbtft/fb_ra8875.c, but fbtft is a
legacy fbdev-based staging driver, and nothing in mainline DRM
currently supports this controller.

This driver does not use drm_mipi_dbi. The RA8875 SPI protocol is
structurally incompatible with both Type C options drm_mipi_dbi supports.
Type C1 encodes command/data as a 9th bit within a 9-bit SPI word. The
RA8875 uses a full prefix byte (0x80 = command write, 0x00 = data write,
0x40 = data read, 0xC0 = status read) sent as a separate 8-bit transaction.
These are not the same thing and cannot be mapped to each other.
Type C3 models two transfer types via a D/CX GPIO. The RA8875 has four
transfer cycle types and no D/CX pin.

My ER-TFTM050-3 board has RST tied NC, and VDD is a fixed supply
set via an on-board solder jumper rather than software-controllable,
so I couldn't test reset-gpios/vdd-supply myself, but added them
as optional/required properties per review feedback for boards that do need them.

Tested on a Raspberry Pi 3B connected over SPI to an East Rising
ER-TFTM050-3, a 5" 800x480 panel driven by the RA8875 in Linux 7.3.0-rc4.

Changes in v2:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/panel/raio,ra8875.yaml (review by Krzysztof Kozlowski):
- Add hardware description to the binding
- Drop the display-timings property, and instead require it in the required block
- Add a required vdd-supply and an optional reset gpio property
- Rename the example node to a more generic "panel: display@0"

drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/Makefile and Kconfig:
- Remove TINYDRM prefix from the config name (Thomas Zimmermann [1])

drivers/gpu/drm/tiny/ra8875.c:
- Reformat device_id table to match current convention (Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Drop unneeded linux/mod_devicetable.h include (Uwe Kleine-König)
- Use drm_dev_unplug() instead of drm_dev_unregister() in remove callback
- Move stack-allocated cmd/data buffers into ra8875_device struct
- Add mode_valid() callback to validate height/width against panel maximum
- Add optional reset gpio
- Use dev_err_probe() in probe function
- Remove connector detect callback
- Remove unnecessary |= on register write return value in hw_init
- Migrate from simple display pipe to manually-handled plane/crtc/encoder,
  following the simple-KMS-helper removal effort [2]
- Use defined constants instead of magic values where possible
- Use drm_atomic_helper_damage_merged() and drm_fb_swab() in plane update
