Subject: [PATCH v2 08/14] drm/solomon: ssd16xx: Expose refresh mode as plane property
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 23:53:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927182329.4193961-9-devarsht@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927182329.4193961-1-devarsht@ti.com>
Add a DRM plane property "refresh_mode" allowing userspace to
select between partial, full and fast display update modes at runtime.
E-paper displays support multiple refresh strategies with different
tradeoffs:
- partial: fastest updates (~300-500ms), minimal flicker, ghosting
accumulates over time
- full: cleanest image (~1.5-2s), full black-white cycle eliminates
ghosting, most flicker
- fast: intermediate (~1s), skips LUT reload per frame (loaded once
at init)
The property uses an enum with values matching the internal
ssd16xx_refresh_mode enum. The default is set from the panel
configuration (typically "partial" for interactive use).

Changes from v1:
- New patch: Extracted refresh mode plane into dedicated patch as
plane property
