[PATCH v7 09/11] drm/mediatek: dp: Add support for embedded DisplayPort aux-bus

[Michael Walle]

Hi AngeloGioacchino,

> For the eDP case we can support using aux-bus on MediaTek DP: this
> gives us the possibility to declare our panel as generic "panel-edp"
> which will automatically configure the timings and available modes
> via the EDID that we read from it.
> 
> To do this, move the panel parsing at the end of the probe function
> so that the hardware is initialized beforehand and also initialize
> the DPTX AUX block and power both on as, when we populate the
> aux-bus, the panel driver will trigger an EDID read to perform
> panel detection.
> 
> Last but not least, since now the AUX transfers can happen in the
> separated aux-bus, it was necessary to add an exclusion for the
> cable_plugged_in check in `mtk_dp_aux_transfer()` and the easiest
> way to do this is to simply ignore checking that when the bridge
> type is eDP.

This patch breaks my board based on the MT8195 which only has one
DisplayPort output port. I suspect it might also break the mt8195-cherry
board.

While the mediatek-dpi driver finds the DP port:
[    3.131645] mediatek-dpi 1c113000.dp-intf: Found bridge node: /soc/dp-tx at 1c600000

The probing of the eDP is deferred:
[   13.289009] platform 1c015000.dp-intf: deferred probe pending

So I don't know why, but to make dp_intf1 work, it seems that dp_intf0
must be probed successfully. After this patch, the edp (which is
connected to the dp_intf1) probe will return with an -ENODEV and
the previous call to devm_drm_bridge_add() will be rolled back.

Before this patch, bridge_add() was called in any case (in the
error case with next_bridge = NULL) and the mediatek-dpi probed
like that:

[    3.121011] mediatek-dpi 1c015000.dp-intf: Found bridge node: /soc/edp-tx at 1c500000
[    3.122111] mediatek-dpi 1c113000.dp-intf: Found bridge node: /soc/dp-tx at 1c600000

Eventually resulting in a framebuffer device:
[    4.451081] mediatek-drm mediatek-drm.8.auto: [drm] fb0: mediatekdrmfb frame buffer device


NB, somehow this series broke the initial display output. I always have
to replug the DisplayPort to get some output. I'll dig deeper into that
later.

In my case, this branch was taken.
