Some of the newer MDP5 versions support Source Split of SSPPs. It is a
feature that allows us to route the output of a hwpipe to 2 Layer
Mixers. This is required to achieve the following use cases:
- Dual DSI: For high res DSI panels (such as 2560x1600 etc), a single
DSI interface doesn't have the bandwidth to drive the required pixel
clock. We use 2 DSI interfaces to drive the left and right halves
of the panel (i.e, 1280x1600 each). The MDP5 pipeline here would look
like:
LM0 -- DSPP0 -- INTF1 -- DSI1
/
hwpipe--
\
LM1 -- DSPP1 -- INTF2 -- DSI2
A single hwpipe is used to scan out the left and right halves to DSI1
and DSI2 respectively. In order to do this, we need to configure the
2 Layer Mixers in Source Split mode.
- HDMI 4K: In order to support resolutions with width higher than the
max width supported by a hwpipe, we club 2 hwpipes together:
hwpipe1 --- LM0 -- DSPP0
- - \
- -- 3D Mux -- INTF0 -- HDMI
- - /
hwpipe2 --- LM1 -- DSPP1
hwpipe1 is staged on the 'left' Layer Mixer, and hwpipe2 is staged on
the 'right' Layer Mixer. An additional block called the '3D Mux' is
used to merge the output of the 2 DSPPs to a single interface.
In this use case, it is possible that a 4K surface is downscaled and
placed completely within one of the halves. In order to support such
scenarios (and keep the programming simple), Layer Mixers with Source
Split can be assigned 2 hw pipes per stage. While scanning out, the HW
takes care of fetching the pixels fom the correct pipe.
Add a MDP cap to tell whether the HW supports source split or not.
Add a MDP LM cap that tells whether a LM instance can operate in
source split mode (and generate the 'left' part of the display
output).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
