From c01f9d17cacb30d8857db29512a9871deaf6d386 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ajay Kumar Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 02:13:48 +0530 Subject: drm/panel: add .prepare() and .unprepare() functions Panels often require an initialization sequence that consists of three steps: a) powering up the panel, b) starting transmission of video data and c) enabling the panel (e.g. turn on backlight). This is usually necessary to avoid visual glitches at the beginning of video data transmission. Similarly, the shutdown sequence is typically done in three steps as well: a) disable the panel (e.g. turn off backlight), b) cease video data transmission and c) power down the panel. Currently drivers can only implement .enable() and .disable() functions, which is not enough to implement the above sequences. This commit adds a second pair of functions, .prepare() and .unprepare() to allow more fine-grained control over when the above steps are performed.
