i.MX6 frame buffer inside barebox?

[Holger Schurig <holgerschurig@gmail.com>]

Hi, I'm a bit puzzled. I compiled my barebox with

CONFIG_CMD_SPLASH=y
CONFIG_VIDEO=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_IMX_IPUV3=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_IMX_IPUV3_LVDS=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_SIMPLEFB=y

and some entries in the device tree about it (see below). And when I
boot barebox, I see /dev/fb0.

However, the LVDS signals don't come out of the CPU, e.g. LVDS_CLK0_P
/ LVDS_CLK0_N is silent. Do I need something to enable the drive as
well?  Simply writing to /dev/fb0, e.g. with the "splash" or "mw -d
/dev/fdb0" command, doesn't seem to do the magic.

As soon as I boot Linux, the LVDS signals come to live. That I cannot
yet see if it's correct because of an backlight issue is some entirely
different issue :-)


Also, what I noticed is that some clocks with "ipu" in their name are
on, others are off:

What part of barebox is responsible to enable the needed clocks?



&ldb {
        status = "okay";

        lvds-channel@0 {
                status = "okay";
                fsl,data-mapping = "spwg";
                fsl,data-width = <18>;

                display-timings {
                        timing0: 800x600 {
                                clock-frequency = <35338240>;
                                hactive = <800>;
                                vactive = <600>;
