[PATCH (repost) 0/5] drm/nouveau+amdgpu: add DP CEC-Tunneling-over-AUX (repost)

[Hans Verkuil]

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil at cisco.com>

Repost because I wasn't a member of the nouveau mailinglist the
first time around and this series was blocked. I also updated this
cover letter for the part about the amdgpu patch after receiving
feedback from Alex Deucher. The patches are unchanged (except for
adding Alex' Acked-by to the amdgpu patch).

Now that the DisplayPort CEC-Tunneling-over-AUX drm+i915 support
has been merged in the mainline kernel it is time to roll this
out to nouveau and amdgpu as well.

The first patch is required for this: it adds checks that the drm_dp_cec
functions are called with a working aux implementation. These checks
weren't necessary for the i915, but nouveau and amdgpu require them.

The next two patches update a comment in drm_dp_cec.c and fix a bug
in sideband AUX handling that I found while researching CEC Tunneling
over an MST hub. It's there to prevent others from stumbling over the
same bug in the future.

The fourth patch adds support for CEC to the nouveau driver.

The last patch adds support for CEC to the amdgpu driver. CEC is
only supported for the new DC modesetting code (thanks to Alex Deucher
for explaining this to me). I have no plans to add CEC support to the
old modesetting code (amd/amdgpu/dce*.c). If someone wants to, then
please contact me. I can't test this myself, but I can assist.

Two notes on CEC-Tunneling-over-AUX:

1) You need to be very careful about which USB-C/DP/mini-DP to HDMI
   adapters you buy. Only a few support this feature correctly today.
   Known chipsets that support this are Parade PS175 & PS176 and
   MegaChips 2900. Unfortunately almost all Parade-based adapters
   do not hook up the HDMI CEC pin to the chip, making them useless
   for this. The Parade reference design was only recently changed
   to hook up this pin, so perhaps this situation will change for
   new Parade-based adapters.

   Adapters based on the new MegaChips 2900 fare much better: it
   appears that their reference design *does* hook up the CEC pin.
   Club3D has adapters using this device for USB-C, DP and mini-DP
   to HDMI, and they all work fine.

   If anyone finds other adapters that work besides those I list
   in https://hverkuil.home.xs4all.nl/cec-status.txt, please let
   me know and I'll add them to the list.

   Linux is the first OS that supports this feature, so I am
   not surprised that HW support for this has been poor. Hopefully
   this will change going forward. BTW, note the irony that CEC is
   now supported for DP-to-HDMI adapters, but not for the native
   HDMI ports on NVIDIA/AMD/Intel GPUs.

2) CEC-Tunneling does not work (yet?) if there is an MST hub in
   between. I'm still researching this but this might be a limitation 
   of MST.

Regards,

        Hans
