Hello,
Thank you for your reply!
The driver is custom made. In the driver, we have hardware reset in prepare() function using the GPIO pin. Then in enable() function, many DCS_write functions are called to initialize the panel. During normal boot, this sequence works perfect and we can see the panel displaying contents.
Then what we would like to do is to issue a hardware reset during runtime in the user space to recover the panel from disturbance such as ESD.
What we have done is to create a file using sysfs to allow a user to call a function in the driver called user_reset(). In user_reset(), we copied the hardware reset portion from prepare() and panel initialization from enable() and put them together. We can see that the user_reset() function can be properly called from user space. Unfortunately, the panel will reset to weird state: all white out and no meaning content is shown.
We tried several things to see what could have caused the white out. We tried to call mipi_dsi_dcs_soft_reset(), but no luck. We also tried to make the driver a module so that we can rmmod it and modprobe back, but still no luck.
Please let us know there is more info you would like to know.
Here is content in our device tree related to dsi:
