The ACK/NACK implementation as found in e.g. the G965 has the falling
clock edge and the release of the data line after the ACK for the received
byte happen at the same time.

This is conformant with the I2C specification, which allows a zero hold
time, see footnote [3]: "A device must internally provide a hold time of
at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the V IH(min) of the
SCL signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL."

Some HDMI-to-VGA converters apparently fail to adhere to this requirement
and latch SDA at the falling clock edge, so instead of an ACK
sometimes a NACK is read and the slave (i.e. the EDID ROM) ends the
transfer.

The bitbanging releases the data line for the ACK only 1/4 bit time after
the falling clock edge, so a slave will see the correct value no matter
if it samples at the rising or the falling clock edge or in the center.

Fallback to bitbanging is already done for the CRT connector.

s/Bug:/Bugzilla:

Did we get the confirmation that this also fix the Skylake issue
initially reported?

Approach seems fine for this case.
I just wonder what would be the risks of forcing this bit and edid read when nothing is present on the other end?

Should be no more risky than using GMBUS as the bit-banging is the
underlying HW protocol; it should just be adding an extra delay to
the disconnected probe. Offset against the chance that it fixes
detection of borderline devices.

I would say that given the explanation above, the question is why not
apply it universally? (Bonus points for including the explanation as
comments.)

I'm wondering, is gmbus too fast for the adapters, does gmbus generally
have different timing for the ack/nak as described in the commit message
than bit banging, or are the adapters just plain buggy? Do we have any
control over gmbus timings (don't have the time to peruse the bpsec just
now)?

BR,
Jani.

I have seen two different behaviours, one on the ~2009 GM965, the other on the 
~2013 Haswell. The Haswell provides a 250..500ns hold time, the other does 
not.

There is a flag in the GMBUS0 register, GMBUS_HOLD_EXT, "300ns hold time, rsvd 
on Pineview". The driver does not set this flag. Possibly it is always set/
implied on the Haswell (which is post-Pineview), and should be set for 
anything older than Pineview.

There is another odd fact with the GM965, according to the register setting it 
should run at 100 kBit/s, but it only runs at 30 kBit/s. The Haswell runs at 
100 kBit/s, as specified. As there are also idle periods ever 8 bytes, the 
EDID read takes 270ms before it fails.

The bitbanging code, running at 45 kBit/s (2 * 20us per clock cycle plus 
overhead) on the other hand just needs 58 ms, but keeps one core busy 
(udelay).


Unfortunately I currently have no older system than the Haswell available, so 
I can not check if the GMBUS_HOLD_EXT flag has any effect.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Ok, found v2, merged this one instead.
