[RFC PATCH 0/9] apple-gmux: support MMIO gmux type on T2 Macs

Hi All,

This patch series adds support for the MMIO based gmux present on these
Dual GPU Apple T2 Macs: MacBookPro15,1, MacBookPro15,3, MacBookPro16,1,
MacBookPro16,4 (although amdgpu isn't working on MacBookPro16,4 [1]).

It's only been tested by people on T2 Macs with MMIO based gmux's using
t2linux [2] kernels, but some changes may impact older port io and indexed
gmux's so testing, especially on those older Macbooks, would be
appreciated.

# 1-2:

refactor code to make it easier to add the 3rd gmux type.

# 3:

has a slight change in how the switch state is read, I don't
expect this to cause issues for older models (but still, please test if
you have one!)

# 4:

implements a system to support more than 2 gmux types

# 5:

start using the gmux's GMSP acpi method when handling interrupts. This
is needed for the MMIO gmux's, and its present in the acpi tables of some
indexed gmux's I could find so hopefully enabling this for all models
will be fine, but if not it can be only used on MMIO gmux's.

# 6:

Adds support for the MMIO based gmux on T2 macs.

# 7:

Add a sysfs interface to apple-gmux so data from ports can be read
from userspace, and written to if the user enables an unsafe kernel
parameter.

This can be used for more easily researching what unknown ports do,
and switching gpus when vga_switcheroo isn't ready (e.g. when one gpu
is bound to vfio-pci and in use by a Windows VM, I can use this to
switch my internal display between Linux and Windows easily).

# 8-9:

These patches make amdgpu and snd_hda_intel register with vga_switcheroo
on Macbooks. I would like advice from the AMD folks on how they want
this to work, so that both PX and apple-gmux laptops work properly.

For radeon and nouveau we just register for every non-thunderbolt
device, but this was changed for AMD cards in commit 3840c5bcc245
("drm/amdgpu: disentangle runtime pm and vga_switcheroo") and commit
586bc4aab878 ("ALSA: hda/hdmi - fix vgaswitcheroo detection for AMD").

This meant that only gpu's with PX register. Commit #8 makes amdgpu
register for all non-thinderbolt cards, and commit #9 makes snd_hda_intel
register for all amd cards with the PWRD (mentioned below) acpi method.
An alternative would be using apple-gmux-detect(), but that won't work
after apple-gmux has probed and claimed its memory resources.

# Issues:

1. Switching gpus at runtime has the same issue as indexed gmux's: the
inactive gpu can't probe the DDC lines for eDP [3]

2. Powering on the amdgpu with vga_switcheroo doesn't work well. I'm
told on the MacBookPro15,1 it works sometimes, and adding delays helps,
but on my MacBookPro16,1 I haven't been able to get it to work at all:

There are some acpi methods (PWRD, PWG1 [4, 5]) that macOS calls when
changing the amdgpu's power state, but we don't use them and that could be
a cause. Additionally unlike previous generation Macbooks which work
better, on MacBookPro16,1 the gpu is located behind 2 pci bridges:

01:00.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
	Navi 10 XL Upstream Port of PCI Express Switch (rev 43)
02:00.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
	Navi 10 XL Downstream Port of PCI Express Switch
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
	Navi 14 [Radeon RX 5500/5500M / Pro 5500M] (rev 43)
03:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
	Navi 10 HDMI Audio

Upon attempting to power on the gpu with vga_switcheroo, all these
devices except 01:00.0 have their config space in `lspci -x` filled with
0xff. `echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan` fixes that and the dmesg errors about
changing power state, but "PSP create ring failed" still happens, and
the gpu doesn't resume properly.
