Commit Message

Doug Anderson March 4, 2021, 11:52 p.m. UTC
In commit 58074b08c04a ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Read EDID blob over
DDC") we attempted to make the ti-sn65dsi86 bridge properly read the
EDID from the panel. That commit kinda worked but it had some serious
problems.

The problems all stem from the fact that userspace wants to be able to
read the EDID before it explicitly enables the panel. For eDP panels,
though, we don't actually power the panel up until the pre-enable
stage and the pre-enable call happens right before the enable call
with no way to interject in-between. For eDP panels, you can't read
the EDID until you power the panel. The result was that
ti_sn_bridge_connector_get_modes() was always failing to read the EDID
(falling back to what drm_panel_get_modes() returned) until _after_
the EDID was needed.

To make it concrete, on my system I saw this happen:
1. We'd attach the bridge.
2. Userspace would ask for the EDID (several times). We'd try but fail
   to read the EDID over and over again and fall back to the hardcoded
   modes.
3. Userspace would decide on a mode based only on the hardcoded modes.
4. Userspace would ask to turn the panel on.
5. Userspace would (eventually) check the modes again (in Chrome OS
   this happens on the handoff from the boot splash screen to the
   browser). Now we'd read them properly and, if they were different,
   userspace would request to change the mode.

The fact that userspace would always end up using the hardcoded modes
at first significantly decreases the benefit of the EDID
reading. Also: if the modes were even a tiny bit different we'd end up
doing a wasteful modeset and at boot.

As a side note: at least early EDID read failures were relatively
fast. Though the old ti_sn_bridge_connector_get_modes() did call
pm_runtime_get_sync() it didn't program the important "HPD_DISABLE"
bit. That meant that all the AUX transfers failed pretty quickly.

In any case, enough about the problem. How are we fixing it? Obviously
we need to power the panel on _before_ reading the EDID, but how? It
turns out that there's really no problem with just doing all the work
of our pre_enable() function right at attach time and reading the EDID
right away. We'll do that. It's not as easy as it sounds, though,
because:

1. Powering the panel up and down is a pretty expensive operation. Not
   only do we need to wait for the HPD line which seems to take up to
   200 ms on most panels, but also most panels say that once you power
   them off you need to wait at least 500 ms before powering them on
   again. We really don't want to incur 700 ms of time here.

2. If we happen not to have a fixed "refclk" we've got a
   chicken-and-egg problem. We seem to need the clock setup to read
   the EDID. Without a fixed "refclk", though, the bridge runs with
   the MIPI pixel clock which means you've got to use a hardcoded mode
   for the MIPI pixel clock.

We'll solve problem #1 above by leaving the panel powered on for a
little while after we read the EDID. If enough time passes and nobody
turns the panel on then we'll undo our work. NOTE: there are no
functional problems if someone turns the panel on after a long delay,
it just might take a little longer to turn on.

We'll solve problem #2 by simply _always_ using a hardcoded mode (not
reading the EDID) if a "refclk" wasn't provided. While it might be
possible to fudge something together to support this, it's my belief
that nobody is using this mode in real life since it's really
inflexible. I saw it used for some really early prototype hardware
that was thrown in the e-waste bin years ago when we realized how
inflexible it was. In any case, if someone is using this they're in no
worse shape than they were before the (fairly recent) commit
58074b08c04a ("drm/bridge: ti-sn65dsi86: Read EDID blob over DDC").

NOTE: while this patch feels a bit hackish, I'm not sure there's much
we can do better without a more fundamental DRM API change. After
looking at it a bunch, it also doesn't feel as hacky to me as I first
thought. The things that pre-enable does are well defined and well
understood and there should be no problems with doing them early nor
with doing them before userspace requests anything.

Could we simplify this by using the runtime PM autosuspend feature ? The
configuration of the bridge would be moved from pre_enable to the PM
runtime resume handler, the clk_disable_unprepare() call moved from
post_disable to the runtime suspend handler, and the work queue replaced
by usage of pm_runtime_put_autosuspend().

Sure, I can correct if/when I respin or it can be corrected when landed.

It's an interesting idea but I don't think I can make it work, at
least not in a generic enough way. Specifically we can also use this
bridge chip as a generic GPIO provider in Linux. When someone asks us
to read a GPIO then we have to power the bridge on
(pm_runtime_get_sync()) and when someone asks us to configure a GPIO
as an output then we actually leave the bridge powered until they stop
requesting it as an output. At the moment the only user of this
functionality (that I know of) is for the HPD pin on trogdor boards
(long story about why we don't use the dedicated HPD) but the API
supports using these GPIOs for anything and I've tested that it works.
It wouldn't be great to have to keep the panel on in order to access
the GPIOs.

The other problem is that I think the time scales are different. At
boot time I think we'd want to leave the panel on for tens of seconds
to give userspace a chance to start up and configure the panel. After
userspace starts up I think we'd want autosuspend to be much faster.
This could probably be solved by tweaking the runtime delay in code
but I didn't fully dig because of the above problem.

The issue you're trying to fix doesn't seem specific to this bridge, so
handling it in the bridge driver bothers me :-S Is there any way we
could handle this in the DRM core ? I don't want to see similar
implementations duplicated in all HDMI/DP bridges.

Yes, it is true that this problem could affect other drivers.  ...and
in full disclosure I think there are other similar workarounds already
present. I haven't personally worked on those chips, but in
ps8640_bridge_get_edid() there is a somewhat similar workaround to
chain a pre-enable (though maybe it's not quite as optimized?). I'm
told that maybe something had to be handled for anx7625 (in
anx7625_get_edid()?) but that definitely doesn't look at all like it's
doing a pre-enable, so maybe things for that bridge just work
differently.

One thing that makes me hesitant about trying to moving this to the
core is that even in sn65dsi86 there is a case where it won't work. As
I mentioned in the patch I'm not aware of anyone using it in
production, but if someone was using the MIPI clock as input to the
bridge chip instead of a fixed "refclk" then trying to get the EDID
after just "pre-enable" falls over.  Said another way: I can say that
with this particular bridge chip, if you're using a fixed refclk, you
can read the EDID after the pre-enable. I don't know if that's always
true with all other bridge chips.

So I guess in summary: I think I could put my code in the core, but I
don't _think_ I can just make it automatically enabled.

* In sn65dsi I'd have to only enable it if we have a fixed refclk.

* Maybe in ps8640 I could just always enable it and replace the
existing code? I'd have to find someone to test.

* In anx7625 things look totally different.

Can you give me any advice on how you'd like me to proceed?

OK, I've got something that maybe looks better. You can tell me what
you think [1]. I did manage to use PM Runtime to avoid some of the
complexity and I put that usage in simple-panel. We'll see if I get
yelled at for adding more to simple-panel. ;-P

Nice :-)

I'm unfortunately afraid I'm quite busy these days. Could you ping me in
a few weeks if I haven't reviewed the series ?
