[PATCH 0/2] Fix I2C-Over-AUX handling

[PATCH 0/2] Fix I2C-Over-AUX handling

[Wayne Lin]

These two patches are trying to fix how we handle I2C-Over_AUX
transactions when sink side can only complte partial data at one time.

We encounter EDID reading error with specific monitor and cause mode
list can only be lower resolutions. After analysis, the monitor will
reply I2C_ACK|AUX_ACK followed by a byte indicating the read data length
fewer than the requested one. Under this case, we should update the
request length and request again. Code we have today doesn't handle
such case.

Meanwhile, how we handle Write_Status_Update_Request for I2C write over
AUX transactions seems wrong as well. The request format should be address
only transaction without length and data, and we don't really send it out.
Further more, it should be constrained for I2C write case only. Not
for I2C read request.

1st patch to fix the I2C write problem and 2nd one to fix the I2C read.

[PATCH 1/2] drm/dp: Correct Write_Status_Update_Request handling

[Wayne Lin]

[Why]
Notice few problems under I2C-write-over-Aux with
Write_Status_Update_Request flag set cases:

- I2C-write-over-Aux request with
  Write_Status_Update_Request flag set won't get sent
  upon the reply of I2C_ACK|AUX_ACK followed by “M”
  Value. Now just set the flag but won't send out

- The I2C-over-Aux request command with
  Write_Status_Update_Request flag set is incorrect.
  Should be "SYNC->COM3:0 (= 0110)|0000-> 0000|0000->
  0|7-bit I2C address (the same as the last)-> STOP->".
  Address only transaction without length and data.

- Upon I2C_DEFER|AUX_ACK Reply for I2C-read-over-Aux,
  soure should repeat the identical I2C-read-over-AUX
  transaction with the same LEN value. Not with
  Write_Status_Update_Request set.

[How]
Refer to DP v2.1: 2.11.7.1.5.3 & 2.11.7.1.5.4
- Clean aux msg buffer and size when constructing
  write status update request.

- Send out Write_Status_Update_Request upon reply of
  I2C_ACK|AUX_ACK followed by “M”

- Send Write_Status_Update_Request upon I2C_DEFER|AUX_ACK
  reply only when the request is I2C-write-over-Aux.

drm_dp_i2c_drain_msg() should keep going until an error
or the full message got transferred.

This looks like a real issue.

drm_dp_i2c_msg_write_status_update() already
checks the request type.

Thanks for you time Ville Syrjälä !
And like what you pointed out here, sorry I realized that I misread the code
flow just after I sent it out. Will have another patch for fixing the aux request format
only. Thanks!

Wayne

[PATCH 2/2] drm/dp: Add handling for partially read under I2-readC-over-AUX

[Wayne Lin]

[Why]
There is no handling for I2C-read-over-AUX when receive reply of
I2C_ACK|AUX_ACK followed by the total number of data bytes Fewer
than LEN + 1

[How]
Refer to DP v2.1: 2.11.7.1.6.3 & 2.11.7.1.6.4, repeat the identical
I2C-read-over-AUX transaction with the updated LEN value equal to
the original LEN value minus the total number of data bytes received
so far.

Sorry for spamming.
Please ignore this patch set. I misread the code flow here a bit. Will refine another version later if needed.
