HDMI support for NVC1 (GeForce GT 540M)

HDMI support for NVC1 (GeForce GT 540M)

[Lijo Antony]

Hi,

I have been using nouveau on my laptop (with GeForce GT 540M card) for a 
while, and it's been working quite well! Now I am trying to connect my 
TV using HDMI port, but wasn't so lucky with that. I would like to know 
the current status of HDMI out support for GF108 (NVC1). I am trying 
with the latest code from nouveau/master tree (2fee6f5).

When I connect the tv, it's not getting detected by the laptop. I see a 
small change in brightness of the laptop screen for a moment and nothing 
else. Usually there is nothing in the dmesg as well, but once I saw the 
below line.

0x00000000 0x000b5080

But when I removed the HDMI cable, I got the below log.

I tried several times, each time with similar logs when the cable is 
plugged out.

I am trying to figure out from code, but any help would be greatly 
appreciated! I can post the full logs or .config file if required.

Thanks in advance,
