[PATCH 1/2] drm: give up on edid retries when i2c bus is not responding

[PATCH 1/2] drm: give up on edid retries when i2c bus is not responding

[Eugeni Dodonov]

This allows to avoid talking to a non-responding bus repeatedly until we
finally timeout after 15 attempts. We can do this by catching the -ENXIO
error, provided by i2c_algo_bit:bit_doAddress call.

Within the bit_doAddress we already try 3 times to get the edid data, so
if the routine tells us that bus is not responding, it is mostly pointless
to keep re-trying those attempts over and over again until we reach final
number of retries.

This change should fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41059
and improve overall edid detection timing by 10-30% in most cases, and by
a much larger margin in case of phantom outputs (up to 30x in one worst
case).

Timing results for i915-powered machines for 'time xrandr' command:
Machine 1: from 0.840s to 0.290s
Machine 2: from 0.315s to 0.280s
Machine 3: from +/- 4s to 0.184s

Timing results for HD5770 with 'time xrandr' command:
Machine 4: from 3.210s to 1.060s

[PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: there is no pipe CxSR on ironlake

[Eugeni Dodonov]

After checking the specs and discussing with Jesse, turns out CxSR is not
available on Ironlake and gen5, and its advertisement on the device
description is misleading.

Imo it's too late for such a change with decent potential to blow up to
land in 3.3. I think this needs some decent shakeout time in Dave's
drm-next tree (despite all r-b's and tested-bys it already gathered) and
hence is imo 3.4 material at this stage.

I'd be happy to include it into any kernel out there, 3.4 would be fine. I
originally sent it for 3.1 merge though, and so far it haven't been picked
up by any tree. So I am a bit lost about what to do with this next, besides
re-sending the same patch over and over again...

I'll stick it in drm-intel-next, once Dave pulls for 3.3.

Hi Dave,

Is it ok if I merge this through my -next tree? Otherwise please consider
merging this for 3.4.

Yours, Daniel
