[PATCH v4 1/6] vga_switcheroo: Add support for switching only the DDC

Originally by Seth Forshee <seth.forshee at canonical.com>, 2012-10-04:
During graphics driver initialization it's useful to be able to mux
only the DDC to the inactive client in order to read the EDID. Add
a switch_ddc callback to allow capable handlers to provide this
functionality, and add vga_switcheroo_switch_ddc() to allow DRM
to mux only the DDC.
Modified by Dave Airlie <airlied at gmail.com>, 2012-12-22:
I can't figure out why I didn't like this, but I rewrote this [...]
to lock/unlock the ddc lines [...]. I think I'd prefer something
like that otherwise the interface got really ugly.
Modified by Lukas Wunner <lukas at wunner.de>, 2015-08-14:
Don't lock vgasr_mutex in _lock_ddc() / _unlock_ddc(), it can cause
deadlocks because (a) during switch (with vgasr_mutex already held),
GPU is woken and probes its outputs, tries to re-acquire vgasr_mutex
to lock DDC lines; (b) Likewise during switch, GPU is suspended and
calls cancel_delayed_work_sync() to stop output polling, if poll
task is running at this moment we may wait forever for it to finish.
Instead, lock ddc_lock when unregistering the handler because the
only reason why we'd want to lock vgasr_mutex in _lock_ddc() /
_unlock_ddc() is to block the handler from disappearing while DDC
lines are switched.
Don't switch DDC lines in stage2, it's pointless because if DDC is
accessed, _lock_ddc() needs to be called anyway. And for consistency
we'd also have to switch DDC on MIGD / MDIS commands and on runtime
suspend, needlessly inflating the code. For the same reason it's
unnecessary to switch DDC back to the previous owner on unlock.
v2.1: Overhaul locking, squash commits
(requested by Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter at ffwll.ch>)
v2.2: Readability improvements
(requested by Thierry Reding <thierry.reding at gmail.com>)
v2.3: Overhaul locking once more
v2.4: Retain semantics of ->switchto handler callback to switch all pins
(requested by Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter at ffwll.ch>)
v4: Drop DDC switch in stage2, MIGD / MDIS and runtime suspend
