Configuration

Take Android7.1,Android6.0 refer toAndroid6.0LCD Usage
The Firefly-RK3399 default configuration file kernel/arch/arm64/configs/firefly_defconfighave set up the LCD configuration file, if you want to modify, please note that the following configuration: :

CONFIG_LCD_MIPI=y
CONFIG_MIPI_DSI=y
CONFIG_RK32_MIPI_DSI=y

Configure DTS

LCD pins configuration

The Firefly-RK3399 SDK has an LCD DTS file in kernel/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-firefly-mini-edp.dts, From this file, we can see the following statement: :

   / {
	model = "Firefly-RK3399 Board edp (Android)";
	compatible = "rockchip,android", "rockchip,rk3399-firefly-edp", "rockchip,rk3399";

              };
              lcd_rst: lcd-rst {
                      gpios = <&gpio4 29 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
					   pinctrl-names = "default";
					   pinctrl-0 = <&lcd_panel_reset>;
                      rockchip,delay = <20>;
               };
       };
	};
	test-power {
		status = "okay";
	};
};

...

   &pinctrl {
       lcd-panel {
               lcd_panel_reset: lcd-panel-reset {
                       rockchip,pins = <4 29 RK_FUNC_GPIO &pcfg_pull_up>;
               };
               lcd_panel_enable: lcd-panel-enable {
                       rockchip,pins = <1 1 RK_FUNC_GPIO &pcfg_pull_up>;
               };
       };
    };

The power control pins of the LCD are defined here: :

lcd_en(GPIO1_A1) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH
lcd_rst(GPIO4_D5) GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH

They are active-high. For details on pin configuration, refer to the "GPIO" section.

Pwms: the attribute of PWM. The Firelfy-RK3399 use pwm0. 25000ns is the cycle of PWM(40 KHz). brightness-level: array for back light, the max value is 255. The configuration of dark and light area default-brightness-level: default brightness, the range of this value is 0~255. enable-gpios: the enable pin of back light. See the documentations in the follow path for more information: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/backlight/pwm-backlight.txt
