Issues withddcutils/ddccontorl remote control of an monitor with Skylake/Kabylake GPU

I have a Kabylake GPU (i7700K) and I can't control my monitor with it using
ddcutil.
It only sometimes work and most of the time spews i2c errors.
I also tested on my laptop which has Skylake GPU and I see the same issue.
The same monitor works with my nvidia GPU and when connected via VGA<->DP
adapter to the notebook.

I will soon provide all the debug logs i could gather, but meanwhile maybe
this is known issue?

For reference I used 4.12 kernel on the Kabylake GPU.

Best regards,
         Maxim Levitsky

Please file bugs at [1], and attach the logs there. ISTR there have been
bugs reported about this before, but I couldn't find any. It certainly
has never been a high priority thing.

BR,
Jani.

I'll do this soon. Meanwhile I bought another HDMI cable, one that supports
4K (and thus should be better electrically) and I see much less i2c errors
to the point that monitor control works about 95% of the time.
I do see plenty of i2c errors still and sometimes still the control fails.

I strongly suspect that too high i2c clock is used. Is there a way to tweak
GMBUS clock?
I will soon compile the kernel (still stuck at stock 4.12 kernel) and see
if I can tweak the driver. I see for instance that it can use bit-banging
instead, so maybe I will force this.

Best regards,
