Subject: [PATCH] drm/msm/dp: don't gate eDP on DP_SINK_COUNT
Date: Tue,  8 Sep 2026 14:31:46 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908090146.3100787-1-vk092kumar@gmail.com> (raw)

msm_dp_display_prepare_link(), msm_dp_display_disable(), and
msm_dp_hpd_unplug_handle() all treat dp->link->sink_count == 0 as
"nothing is connected", and in msm_dp_display_prepare_link() this
causes probe/enable to fail outright with -ENOTCONN.

This is correct for external DisplayPort, where a compliant sink is
required to report a valid DP_SINK_COUNT over the AUX channel. It is
not correct for eDP: some eDP sinks -- particularly fixed-format
eDP-to-HDMI bridge chips with no downstream AUX-capable panel
behind them -- never populate DP_SINK_COUNT with a nonzero value,
even while otherwise participating normally in DPCD capability
exchange and link training.

drm_dp_read_sink_count_cap() already accounts for this by excluding
eDP connectors from the sink-count requirement for other DPCD-derived
checks (msm_dp_bridge_detect() takes care). Apply the same exemption
to the raw sink_count reads in this file via a small shared
helper, so eDP outputs with a non-AUX-capable downstream sink are
not treated as permanently disconnected.

Tested on a Qualcomm QCS6490-based board driving a fixed-format
eDP-to-HDMI bridge IC (chrontel,ch7218a) with no negotiable
DPCD-capable panel behind it; without this fix,
msm_dp_display_prepare_link() unconditionally returns -ENOTCONN
and the display never comes up.

Fixes: ca16db3d18cf ("drm/msm/dp: break up dp_display_enable into two parts")
