Subject: [PATCH v2 08/10] efi: Support EDID information
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 17:40:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251124165116.502813-9-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251124165116.502813-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Add LINUX_EFI_PRIMARY_DISPLAY_TABLE_GUID to the list of config-table
UUIDs. Read sysfb_primary_display from the entry. The UUID has been
generated with uuidgen.
Still support LINUX_EFI_SCREEN_INFO_TABLE_GUID as fallback in case an
older boot loader invokes the kernel.
If CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=n, EDID information is disabled.
Make the Kconfig symbol CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID available with EFI. Setting
the value to 'n' disables EDID support.

This enables access to the EDID transferred from the firmware.
- On x86, this is from the VESA BIOS. DRM display drivers will
- be able to export the information to userspace.
+ On EFI systems, the EDID comes from the same device as the
+ primary GOP. On x86 with BIOS, it comes from the VESA BIOS.
+ DRM display drivers will be able to export the information
+ to userspace.
Also enable this if DDC/I2C transfers do not work for your driver
and if you are using nvidiafb, i810fb or savagefb.
