drm/i915: Check HPD live state during eDP probe
We need to untangle the mess where some SKL machines (at least)
declare both DDI A and DDI E to be present in their VBT, and
both using AUX A. DDI A is a ghost eDP, wheres DDI E may be a
real DP->VGA converter.
Currently that is handled by checking the VBT child devices
for conflicts before output probing. But that kind of solution
will not work for the ADL phantom dual eDP VBTs. I think on
those we just have to probe the eDP first. And would be nice
to use the same probe scheme for everything.
On these SKL systems if we probe DDI A first (which is only
natural given it's declared by VBT first) we will get an answer
via AUX, but it came from the DP->VGA converter hooked to the
DDI E, not DDI A. Thus we mistakenly register eDP on DDI A
and screw up the real DP device in DDI E.
To fix this let's check the HPD live state during the eDP probe.
If we got an answer via DPCD but HPD is still down let's assume
we got the answer from someone else.
Smoke tested on all my eDP machines (ilk,hsw-ult,tgl,adl) and
I also tested turning off all HPD hardware prior to loading
i915 to make sure it all comes up properly. And I simulated
the failure path too by not turning on HPD sense and that
correctly gave up on eDP.
I *think* Windows might just fully depend on HPD here. I
couldn't really find any other way they probe displays. And
I did find code where they also check the live state prior
to AUX transfers (something Imre and I have also talked
about perhaps doing). That would also solve this as we'd
not succeed in the eDP probe DPCD reads.
Other solutions I've considered:
- Reintrduce DDI strap checks on SKL. Unfortunately we just
don't have any idea how reliable they are on real production
hardware, and commit
5a2376d1360b ("drm/i915/skl: WaIgnoreDDIAStrap
is forever, always init DDI A") does suggest that not very.
Sadly that commit is very poor in details :/
Also the systems (Asrock B250M-HDV at least) fixed by commit
41e35ffb380b ("drm/i915: Favor last VBT child device with
conflicting AUX ch/DDC pin") might still not work since we
don't know what their straps indicate. Stupid me for not
asking the reporter to check those at the time :(
We have currently two CI machines (fi-cfl-guc,fi-cfl-8700k
both MS-7B54/Z370M) that also declare both DDI A and DDI E
in VBT to use AUX A, and on these the DDI A strap is also
set. There doesn't seem to be anything hooked up to either
DDI however. But given the DDI A strap is wrong on these it
might well be wrong on the Asrock too.
Most other CI machines seem to have straps that generally
match the VBT. fi-kbl-soraka is an exception though as DDI D
strap is not set, but it is declared in VBT as a DP++ port.
No idea if there's a real physical port to go with it or not.
- Some kind of quirk just for the cases where both DDI A and DDI E
are present in VBT. Might be feasible given we've ignored
DDI A in these cases up to now successfully. But feels rather
unsatisfactory, and not very future proof against funny VBTs.
