[3/3,v3] drm: bridge/dw-hdmi: Move edid reading to .detect() callback

When running HDMI compliance tests we noticed that sometimes
the edid changes but the get_modes() function is not called
so the edid is not updated. Moving the edid reading to the
detect() callback ensures that the edid is correctly updated
after an hotplug.

I am not sure if this is a bug in DRM or a bad implementation of
dw-hdmi. I've seen at least two more drivers that do the edid
reading at the .detect() callback: nouveau and gma500. This is
noticeable if while sending video the edid changes like in a
compliance environment. In the environment that I tested I was
sending video and swapped an edid that had support for AI packets
to another one without support and I noticed that although the
hotplug is generated the edid was not being updated.

Best regards,

So, I didn't use framebuffer console but used X instead and it is
working as it should. I think we can drop this patch. I am now
making interoperability with DVI and I am facing the following
scenario:
    - I start the driver
    - An EDID is sent which tells the driver that HDMI is NOT
supported;
    - The driver configures itself to a DVI mode;

Until this point everything is working as it should. But:

    - Now I send an EDID which tells the driver that HDMI is
supported;
    - As the EDID has the same preferred mode the user will not
reconfigure the mode and there will be no change to HDMI mode.

The missing change to HDMI mode will cause the test to fail. The
workaround that I am using is to reconfigure to another video
mode and then configure to the preferred one but I think this
could be fixed in the driver, right?

Best regards,

I pondored whether we should have a counter on each connector for probe
state, which helpers would increment whenever something changes, like:
- connector_status (as tracked by probe helpers)
- anything in the edid changes (when setting it
  drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property)
- other changes (like sink state changes in dpcd or whatever)

That way userspace would be able to reliably spot such changes and do a
new modeset.

The other side of this is making sure that the kernel doesn't optimize
away a modeset in this case. The problem is that current helpers (both
legacy and atomic) only look at the output routing and the display mode
and nothing else to decide whether a full modeset is required. At least
with atomic that's easy to fix:
- When the connector state changes we simply need to set the
  connectors_changed boolean in the corresponding CRTC state.
- We can use the probe lifecycle counter from above to do that: If it's
  changed in atomic_check, then we set connectors_changed to force a full
  modeset.

I guess with just the kernel changes (and not even upgrading userspace)
we'd probably fix many cases already.

Yes, please. I have had similar wishes for state changes and overall
modeset counters.

What about this: Assuming that the modes probed by EDID have the
picture aspect ratio field set we can check for one of this
probed modes when receiving a mode from userspace and then if the
modes match (except from the picture aspect field, which is not
set by userspace) then we can use the picture aspect value of the
probed mode. I am using something like this in my modeset callback:

    /* 'mode' comes from userspace, 'pmode' comes from EDID */
    if (mode->picture_aspect_ratio == HDMI_PICTURE_ASPECT_NONE) {
        struct drm_display_mode *pmode;

        list_for_each_entry(pmode, &connector.modes, head) {
            if (drm_mode_equal(pmode, mode))
                mode->picture_aspect_ratio =
pmode->picture_aspect_ratio;
        }
    }

Of course if the EDID has for example two exactly equal modes
that only differ in the picture aspect ratio then this will not
work unless user passes the picture aspect when setting the mode.

Erhm, that seems to be an entirely different topic. And patches to fix
this are already on the mailing list, being reviewed. It's roughly your
idea, expect we fully expose the aspect ratio to userspace, and userspace
can select (if there multiple matching modes with different aspect
ratios).
