[Bug/RFC] drm/imx: warning: vblank wait timed out

Hi all,

I am trying to enable the second display pipeline of my imx6q based
Utilite Pro. I appended a devicetree patch to this email for reference.

While it works perfectly on its own there occur kernel warnings (see
below) if both pipelines are connected. Furthermore, the machine becomes
almost unresponsive. Note that these warnings start to happen around the
time getty is started. No other userspace stuff (e.g. X11) is involved.

I can make it work by adding the following hack to the devicetree:

display-subsystem {
	compatible = "fsl,imx-display-subsystem";
	ports = <&ipu1_di0>, <&ipu2_di0>, <&ipu2_di1>, <&ipu1_di1>;
};

(i.e. reordering the ports of the display-subsystem.)

To my understanding the imx drm driver maps both outputs to ipu1 by
default which cannot handle the load. But using ipu1 and ipu2 for a
single output each works. Unfortunately, I didn't find a way to model
this restriction in the devicetree (in a sane way).

IMHO the driver should at least disable one of the outputs instead of
rendering the whole system unusable. Optimally, it should figure out a
correct mapping between outputs and ipu's itself.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Christopher

The warning occurring is the following (I used a clean v4.9-rc5 branch
but copied the config of ArchlinuxARM which is why -ARCH+ got appended):
