drm/radeon: Retry DDC probing on DVI on failure if we got an HPD interrupt

HPD signals on DVI ports can be fired off before the pins required for
DDC probing actually make contact, due to the pins for HPD making
contact first. This results in a HPD signal being asserted but DDC
probing failing, resulting in hotplugging occasionally failing.

This is somewhat rare on most cards (depending on what angle you plug
the DVI connector in), but on some cards it happens constantly. The
Radeon R5 on the machine used for testing this patch for instance, runs
into this issue just about every time I try to hotplug a DVI monitor and
as a result hotplugging almost never works.

Rescheduling the hotplug work for a second when we run into an HPD
signal with a failing DDC probe usually gives enough time for the rest
of the connector's pins to make contact, and fixes this issue.

So this one has kind of been a tough sell with Jerome, mostly because it's
somewhat of a hack. Unfortunately however I've managed to find machines where
DVI hotplugging literally doesn't work without a patch like this. We've already
tried a couple of ways of handling the situation of retriggering ddc probes:

* Trying the DDC probe in the radeon_dvi_detect() function multiple times.
* Trying to reschedule the hotplug_work task whenever DDC probing fails on DVI
  but we got a hpd signal (this ended up being a much more complicated patch
  then anticipated)
* Doing what we do right now, which is just triggering userspace to rescan all
  the ports when the hpd signal is asserted by the DVI port but there's no DDC
  probe, and repeating until at least a second passes.

All of these actually work, but I guess it's a question of which one is less of
a hack. If anyone here can think of a cleaner way of handling this feel free to
let me know.

Well the discussion so far was about HPD on DVI only.

I'm not so deep into DP, but why should it uses HPD pulses of less than 2ms?

Unfortunately the delay needed to make hotplugging work on the system
mentioned in the commit log can actually be over 700ms.

Yeah, but I would think it would make sense to retry here so long as we
back off after a certain time. This would also have the benefit of
skipping this delay on systems that don't need it.

This is part of the DP spec iirc. This being said though, the issue
here with the HPD signal coming before the connector is ready only
happens on DVI. I haven't ever run into this issue with any HDMI cables
or DP cables, so I'm against imposing this on all connectors.

One of the solutions I've been thinking about with this: In
radeon_dvi_detect(), if we get a real hotplug signal retry the DDC
probe until at least a second has passed, after which we back off and
assume the port is disconnected.

Might be interesting to compare what we do in i915 in latest kernels:

- in the hpd handler we check the hpd status bits before probing the edid.
  This will take care of slow unplug case where we get the hpd
  interrupt/status change, but i2c is still working.

- but because crap screens (or whatever it is) if hpd is _not_ set we
  retest the status for 30ms (and bail out as soon as hpd status is
  asserted). This seems to be enough time to settle all screens.

Note that this is in intel_hdmi.c since native dvi ports on intel hw also
always supported hdmi features. Not sure whether we could extract this
into some kind of helper and share.

In our experience in i915 DP hpd works perfectly on all machines. At least
we never had to add timeout hacks to settle hpd, storm handling code isn't
enabled for DP either and we always checked hpd status bits to decide
whether something is connected or not.

hdmi/dvi is the troublemaker which needs settling time and storm handling.

FWIW, there are registers to adjust how long the hpd needs to be asserted before the hpd connection and short pulse interrupts are triggered.  See DC_HPDx_CONTROL.  Maybe adjusting them would help.  We currently just write the default value, but it might be better to RMW the value in case there is a special golden value set by the vbios at init time.

This sounds like a much better idea. I'm going to try to come up with a patch
that adjusts these by default for DVI ports.

Ignore this; we can't get a long enough delay using those registers to fix the
issue so we'll still have to handle this in software.

Ping
Do we have any consensus on the best way of handling this situation in the
driver?

Does this patch help in case I use a DP-2-DVI-D or HDMI-2-DVI-D converter cable?
