Hi Tushar,
I think this setting already exists for Exynos4 in u-boot.
Are you not getting display without your patch?
Have a look at this: http://git.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=arch/arm/cpu/arm...

No, there was no display on Origen board without this patch.

Thanks for the pointer. Let me check if I am missing anything for Origen u-boot code.

This code is called if CONFIG_LCD is enabled. Calling set_system_display_ctrl() from Origen board_init() fixes my problem.
Thanks.

Ok. You are trying to get the display up in the kernel, without enabling the display in u-boot. And, thats why you are making an explicit call here?

Previously, Ajay kumar said set_system_display_ctrl() function is already called by lcd_ctrl_init() of exynos_fb.c. If you need to use FIMD path, you'd better use the existing one.

This modification is essential for enabling LCD support in kernel. While working with DT kernel, we couldn't any suitable place in kernel where we can place this code. That is the reason why we thought of having this bit setup in u-boot.

I understood your concept. but I feel, it's a workaround.

Why don't you try to find the reason why stalls the u-boot.

I spent some time on fixing this while I was working on this patch, but couldn't debug the issue within the available time. If I can find sometime for this, I will surely look into fixing this.
We have already got display support merged with upstream kernel. After applying this patch to u-boot, developers can get display up with upstream stuff. That was the motivation for having this patch.
