Hi everybody!
I have been working for days to ensure that the MIPI-DSI output works with the Raspberry PI compatible display panel (Product OSOYOO which has a Toshiba TC358762 DSI/DP bridge chip and a I2C backlight controller as Focal FT5406). The following overlay works perfectly with the Radxa kernel 4.4.153 and unfortunately not with the Armbian kernel: Linux rockpi-4c 5.8.13-rockchip64.
So far so good. Now if you look at the DTS source files of the two kernels, they have a similar structure but are very different in content. I wonder why you now get the idea to reinvent the wheel. The Radxa kernel contains everything that is needed. What is particularly annoying is the great idea of calling the names differently in DTS. For example in the Armbian mainline 5.8.13 the DSI resource is called 'mipi_dsi' and in Radxa it is simply called 'dsi'. Such a huge dilemma for a 'no kernel DTS guru'. The challenge now is to pick out every single resource for the DSI and the GPU with their dependencies and to mentally get the 'link' from the Radxa and Armbian versions. Unfortunately, that's beyond my capabilities:) OoO (: .....
The next part is the touchscreen driver 'edt, edt-ft5406'. In the mainline 'rockpi-4c 5.8.13-rockchip64' this requires an IRQ. A fallback to
polling mode was not considered! It's easy to do as follows (also @ https://github.com/britus/osoyoo-dsi-display-panel):
