From 9c1798259b9420f38f1fa1b83e3d864c3eb1a83e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabio Estevam festevam@denx.de Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:34:58 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] drm/tiny: panel-mipi-dbi: Use drm_client_setup_with_fourcc()

Since commit 559358282e5b ("drm/fb-helper: Don't use the preferred depth for the BPP default"), RGB565 displays such as the CFAF240320X no longer render correctly: colors are distorted and the content is shown twice horizontally.

This regression is due to the fbdev emulation layer defaulting to 32 bits per pixel, whereas the display expects 16 bpp (RGB565). As a result, the framebuffer data is incorrectly interpreted by the panel.

Fix the issue by calling drm_client_setup_with_fourcc() with a format explicitly selected based on the display's bits-per-pixel value. For 16 bpp, use DRM_FORMAT_RGB565; for other values, fall back to the previous behavior. This ensures that the allocated framebuffer format matches the hardware expectations, avoiding color and layout corruption.

Tested on a CFAF240320X display with an RGB565 configuration, confirming correct colors and layout after applying this patch.
