      drm/dp: Export symbol / kerneldoc fixes for DP AUX bus · 39c28cdf
      Douglas Anderson authored 
      While working on the DP AUX bus code I found a few small things that
should be fixed. Namely the non-devm version of
of_dp_aux_populate_ep_devices() was missing an export. There was also
an extra blank line in a kerneldoc and a kerneldoc that incorrectly
documented a return value. Fix these.

      drm: Document the power requirements for DP AUX transfers · 69ef4a19
      Douglas Anderson authored 
      When doing DP AUX transfers there are two actors that need to be
powered in order for the DP AUX transfer to work: the DP source and
the DP sink. Commit bacbab58 ("drm: Mention the power state
requirement on side-channel operations") added some documentation
saying that the DP source is required to power itself up (if needed)
to do AUX transfers. However, that commit doesn't talk anything about
the DP sink.

For full fledged DP the sink isn't really a problem. It's expected
that if an external DP monitor isn't plugged in that attempting to do
AUX transfers won't work. It's also expected that if a DP monitor is
plugged in (and thus asserting HPD) then AUX transfers will work.

When we're looking at eDP, however, things are less obvious. Let's add
some documentation about expectations. Here's what we'll say:

1. We don't expect the DP AUX transfer function to power on an eDP
panel. If an eDP panel is physically connected but powered off then it
makes sense for the transfer to fail.

2. We'll document that the official way to power on a panel is via the
bridge chain, specifically by making sure that the panel's prepare
function has been called (which is called by
panel_bridge_pre_enable()). It's already specified in the kernel doc
of drm_panel_prepare() that this is the way to power the panel on and
also that after this call "it is possible to communicate with any
integrated circuitry via a command bus."

3. We'll also document that for code running in the panel driver
itself that it is legal for the panel driver to power itself up
however it wants (it doesn't need to officially call
drm_panel_pre_enable()) and then it can do AUX bus transfers. This is
currently the way that edp-panel works when it's running atop the DP
AUX bus.

NOTE: there was much discussion of all of this in response to v1 [1]
of this patch. A summary of that is:
* With the Intel i195 driver, apparently eDP panels do get powered
  up. We won't forbid this but it is expected that code that wants to
  run on a variety of platforms should ensure that the drm_panel's
  prepare() function has been called.
* There is at least a reasonable amount of agreement that the
  transfer() functions itself shouldn't be responsible for powering
  the panel. It's proposed that if we need the DP AUX dev nodes to be
  robust for eDP that the code handling the DP AUX dev nodes could
  handle powering the panel by ensuring that the panel's prepare()
  call was made. Potentially drm_dp_aux_dev_get_by_minor() could be a
  good place to do this. This is left as a future exercise. Until
  that's fixed the DP AUX dev nodes for eDP are probably best just
  used for debugging.
* If a panel could be in PSR and DP AUX via the dev node needs to be
  reliable then we need to be able to pull the panel out of PSR. On
  i915 this is also apparently handled as part of the transfer()
  function.

      drm/probe-helper: For DP, add 640x480 if all other modes are bad · e7c254d7
      Douglas Anderson authored 
      As per Displayport spec section 5.2.1.2 ("Video Timing Format") says
that all detachable sinks shall support 640x480 @60Hz as a fail safe
mode.

A DP compliance test expected us to utilize the above fact when all
modes it presented to the DP source were not achievable. It presented
only modes that would be achievable with more lanes and/or higher
speeds than we had available and expected that when we couldn't do
that then we'd fall back to 640x480 even though it didn't advertise
this size.

In order to pass the compliance test (and also support any users who
might fall into a similar situation with their display), we need to
add 640x480 into the list of modes. However, we don't want to add
640x480 all the time. Despite the fact that the DP spec says all sinks
_shall support_ 640x480, they're not guaranteed to support it
_well_. Continuing to read the spec you can see that the display is
not required to really treat 640x480 equal to all the other modes. It
doesn't need to scale or anything--just display the pixels somehow for
failsafe purposes. It should also be noted that it's not hard to find
a display hooked up via DisplayPort that _doesn't_ support 640x480 at
all. The HP ZR30w screen I'm sitting in front of has a native DP port
and doesn't work at 640x480. I also plugged in a tiny 800x480 HDMI
display via a DP to HDMI adapter and that screen definitely doesn't
support 640x480.

As a compromise solution, let's only add the 640x480 mode if:
* We're on DP.
* All other modes have been pruned.

This acknowledges that 640x480 might not be the best mode to use but,
since sinks are _supposed_ to support it, we will at least fall back
to it if there's nothing else.

Note that we _don't_ add higher resolution modes like 1024x768 in this
case. We only add those modes for a failed EDID read where we have no
idea what's going on. In the case where we've pruned all modes then
instead we only want 640x480 which is the only defined "Fail Safe"
resolution.

This patch originated in response to Kuogee Hsieh's patch [1].

      drm/probe-helper: Add helper for drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes() · 4a2a13a5
      Douglas Anderson authored 
      The drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes() is a bit long. Let's
break a chunk off to update and validate modes. This helps avoid one
goto and also will allow us to more easily call the helper a second
time in a future patch without adding looping or another goto.

This change is intended to be a no-op change--just code movement.
