Right, intel_atomic_check_tiled_conns loops through all connectors, so
it can pick stuff up that isn't already part of our atomic transaction.
However it won't know it needs to pick up the partner connector in cases
where we've already lost the tile information for the connector that was
re-plugged.

For example, let's say we have connector-A/crtc-A (tile grp 1) and
connector-B/crtc-B (tile grp 1).  The current state for both indicates
they're synced and the tile information for both is still present.

 - Now we unplug connector-B and plug in a new monitor that's either
   untiled or part of a different tile group.  The committed state still
   shows both as being synchronized, but the tile information for
   connector-B has now vanished.

 - Userspace reacts to the hotplug event and performs a modeset on
   connector-B.
     * the initial atomic state contains only crtc-B / connector-B since
       userspace didn't see a need to update A.
     * intel_atomic_check_tiled_conns loops over connectors that are
       already in the state, so it only processes connector-B.  It either
       sees !connector->has_tile and never calls intel_modeset_all_tiles
       _or_ it sees a completely different tile group ID that won't
       match against connector-A.

So just looking at tiles isn't enough to bring in the missing partner in
cases where the tile information has vanished before our commit begins;
i.e., that's why we need to also look at the current port sync status to
find old partners that we're still sync'd against and bring them into
the transaction as well.

Ah, so if modeset_synced_crtcs() is only intended to prevent problematic
demotions to fastset, then it seems like the loop just above your call
that Jose just added for the MST stuff is already intended for that
purpose.  Maybe we can build your intel_atomic_check_synced_crtcs() into
that existing loop rather than handling port sync as an independent
loop?  I'm fine with doing that as part of a follow-up patch though so
we don't delay getting these fixes landed.

But that means we still need some processing of synced CRTC's up at the
top of the function around the same place (and with the same general
approach) as where you handle the tiled connectors.  I.e., something
that will notice a pre-existing port sync on the old state, then loop
over all crtcs (not just the ones already in the state) to bring in the
old partner.

Okay, if this is a known shortcoming that's still planned for the
future, then I guess we can just add a FIXME comment or something for
now so it's clear why some cases still aren't expected to work properly.

Yeah, if we add a FIXME for the cases that we're still missing (i.e.,
when tile information is gone and we never pull in the old sync
partner), you can consider this

Reviewed-by: Matt Roper <matthew.d.roper at intel.com>

since even if it's not 100% complete it fixes some cases and shouldn't
cause new regressions, so it makes sense to land it early and then
follow up with the rest of the fixes when they're ready.
