Subject: Reverted commit - why?
Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 21:00:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273521646.2527.3.camel@pcjc2lap> (raw)

Just wondering what was bad about the patch reverted by this commit?


    Revert "drm/i915: Configure the TV sense state correctly on GM45 to make TV detection reliable"
    
    Eric mentioned on irc this patch was bad, so revert it.
    
    This reverts commit fb8b5a39b6310379d7b54c0c7113703a8eaf4a57.

Log for the patch was:

    drm/i915: Configure the TV sense state correctly on GM45 to make TV detection reliable
    
    The TV detection logic is not reliable on the Cantiga platform.
    Sometimes the TV will be misdetected as the following two cases:
    - TV is misdetected on some laptops. e.g. There is no TV connector
    port or no TV is attached. But the TV is shown as connected.
    - TV connector type is misdetected. e.g. the component TV is
    attached, but the TV is shown as S-video type.
    
    According to the hardware requirement, the TV sense state bits of TV DAC
    register should be cleared to zero on Cantiga platfrom.

Just wondering, since this fix prevented spurious mis-detection of
connected TV-out on my GM45 laptop.
