DP always uses ANSI 8B10B encoding. Some monitors (old?) may not have
the ANSI 8B10B bit set in DPCD, even if it should always be set.

The tc358767 driver currently respects that flag, and turns the encoding
off if the monitor does not have the bit set, which then results in the
monitor not working.

This patch makes the driver to always use ANSI 8B10B encoding, and drops
the 'coding8b10b' field which is no longer used.

Hi Tomi,

Thank you for the patch.

Makes you wonder why the bit is present :-) I've checked the DP v1.0
specification, and even though the bit isn't documented as being always
1, 8B/10B encoding is mandatory, so this should be safe from a DP point
of view.

Without access to the TC358767 datasheet I can't tell what use cases
were intended for disabling 8B/10B encoding. Could it be related to
video sources that already provide X3.230-1994 encoded data ? In any
case this shouldn't be driven by the sink but by the source, so

Andrey, as this feature was present in the initial driver version that
you authored, do you have more information about its intended use cases
?

Datasheet only describes this bit in register, without any additional
information how it should be handled.

During initial driver development I had one eDP display that reports 0 in Bit 0
(ANSI 8B/10B) of DPCD reg 0x0006 (MAIN_LINK_CHANNEL_CODING).
Also it does not react on setting Bit 0 (SET_ANSI 8B10B) in 0x0108
(MAIN_LINK_CHANNEL_CODING_SET) - after reading back it was 0 again.
So I had to disable 8B10 encoding on tc358767 side to make this display
work.

On other hand if there are displays that report zero bit 0 in
MAIN_LINK_CHANNEL_CODING while needing 8b10b then this patch looks
reasonable.

May be driver should read back MAIN_LINK_CHANNEL_CODING_SET
register after setting it and check if 8b10b actually enabled?

Out of curiosity, how does the eDP display recover the clock without
8B/10B encoding ?

This sounds like a reasonable thing to try. Tomi, do you still have
accesss to those faulty monitors ?

Sorry, I have no much knowledge how it works on phy level.
I thought additional 2 bit are used for DC balancing only.

On my monitor it does not seem to matter whether I write 0 or 1 to
MAIN_LINK_CHANNEL_CODING_SET, as long as I have 8b10b enabled on
TC358767 side. The writes do go through, and I can read the written bit
back.

So... I guess when we talk about eDP panels, there may be all kinds of
oddities, as they're usually meant to be used with a certain configuration.

But if everyone agrees that 8B10B is a normal, required feature of DP,
and there is an eDP panel that needs 8B10B disabled, maybe that panel
has to be handled separately as a special case? A dts entry to disable
8B10B? Or something. But it does not sound like a good idea for the
driver to try to guess this.

As reported by Andrey, there is at least one panel that would break with
this patch. I agree 8b10b should be the default, but if the above
procedure works for all the panels we know about, is there an issue
implementing it ?

Well, we don't have data for a big set of panels. I'm worried that such
a change, which, in my opinion, makes the driver guess whether to enable
or disable 8b10b, can break other panels or monitors if the guess
doesn't go right. Especially as disabling 8b10b does not sound like a
valid setup "officially".

I agree that if the panel Andrey mentioned is still used, we need to
handle it somehow. But I think explicitly handling such a case is better
than guessing.

And isn't this something that's not really TC358767 specific? If that
panel is used with other bridges, we need to deal with this case with
those bridges too? Or is TC358767 the only bridge that allows disabling
8b10b?

The risk may not be worth it, I agree. I would explain this in details
in the commit message though, and add a comment to the code as well, to
ease future debugging.

I don't know about other bridges, but I think it would need to be
handled globally, yes.

Andrey, do you still have the panel that doesn't work with 8b10b? Is it
used in real life (i.e. it was not just a temporary development phase
panel)? What's the model, and is there a public datasheet?

Everywhere I look, I always see 8b10b as mandatory for all DP versions
for the main link. If the panel in question requires 8b10b to be
disabled, I would imagine that mentioned in its datasheet, as it's kind
of a big thing. I would guess that the panel doesn't work with many eDP
sources.

Ok. This does sound like a relatively big work, adding a new field to
simple panel, or maybe a new DT property to the panels, and making the
bridges work use that data (even if we'd add the support only to
tc358767 for now).

I don't want to break Andrey's panel, but I have to say I'm not very
enthusiastic about this work either =).

The DP 1.0 spec does say that PRBS7 test pattern is not 8b10b encoded. I
understand this meaning that 8b10b is not used for some particular
tests, which would explain why 8b10b can be turned off in tc358767 (and
maybe that also means it can be turned off in all/most other DP sources).

Note that I am a different Andrey, and I can't speak about the
original panel that caused the issue. However, production units are
shipped with this panel:

https://www.data-modul.com/productfinder/sites/default/files/products/NL192108AC13-02D_specification_12023727.pdf

which seems to do pretty standard DP stuff. In all of my testing of
Tomi's patches, I haven't seen any problems so far (I still have to
test v3 though), so I think we can carefully proceed assuming that
that weird panel was just a fluke.

Thanks,
Andrey Smirnov
