Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.12] Revert "drm/amd/display: Move setup_stream_attribute"
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2025 20:42:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201014235.104853-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
[ Upstream commit 3126c9ccb4373d8758733c6699ba5ab93dbe5c9d ]
This reverts commit 2681bf4ae8d24df950138b8c9ea9c271cd62e414.
This results in a blank screen on the HDMI port on some systems.
Revert for now so as not to regress 6.18, can be addressed
in 6.19 once the issue is root caused.
Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4652

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Now I have a complete understanding of the issue. Let me summarize my
analysis:
## Comprehensive Analysis
### 1. Commit Message Analysis
This is a **revert** of commit
`2681bf4ae8d24df950138b8c9ea9c271cd62e414` that moved
`setup_stream_attribute()` from `link_set_dpms_on()` to individual
`enable_stream()` functions. The commit clearly states:
- The change "results in a blank screen on the HDMI port on some
systems"
- Includes a bug report link:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/4652
- Explicitly intended to "not regress 6.18"
- Cherry-picked from upstream with maintainer sign-off
### 2. Critical Finding: Buggy Commit Already Backported
**The original problematic commit (`7965cb360655`) was already
backported to stable trees** (as shown by `[ Upstream commit ... ]` and
Sasha Levin's signature). This means **stable users are currently
affected by this regression** and need the fix.
### 3. Technical Root Cause
The original commit attempted to fix a symclk RCO clock gating issue by
moving `setup_stream_attribute()` later in the sequence, after clock
ungating in `enable_stream()`. However:
- **For DP (DisplayPort)**: This ordering works because DP needs symclk
ungated first
- **For HDMI/TMDS**: The stream attributes must be set earlier,
specifically before VPG power-on and infoframe construction in
`link_set_dpms_on()`
The code at line 3055 in `dcn20_hwseq.c` shows where the call was moved:
```c
link_hwss->setup_stream_attribute(pipe_ctx);
```
This call happens too late for HDMI paths, causing blank screens because
the HDMI signal initialization sequence depends on attributes being
programmed before the display pipe is fully enabled.
### 4. Code Change Assessment
The revert is small and surgical:
- **5 files changed**
- Removes `link_hwss->setup_stream_attribute()` from 3 hwseq files
(dce110, dcn20, dcn401)
- Restores the call in `link_dpms.c` at the correct position (after
`set_out_mux()`, before VPG power-on)
- Removes unused LVDS stub from virtual_stream_encoder.c
### 5. Stable Kernel Rules Compliance
| Criteria | Assessment |
|----------|------------|
| Fixes a real bug affecting users | ✅ Blank HDMI screen - severe user-
visible regression |
| Obviously correct | ✅ Simple revert to known-working code |
| Small and contained | ✅ ~20 lines removed, ~5 lines added |
| No new features | ✅ Pure regression fix |
| Bug exists in stable | ✅ Original buggy commit was backported |
### 6. Risk Assessment
- **Regression risk: LOW** - This reverts to previously known-working
behavior that was stable for years
- **Trade-off**: The original symclk RCO issue will remain unfixed, but:
- RCO issue affects a narrow DP corner case
- Blank HDMI affects common consumer hardware
- A blank screen is a far worse failure than the clock gating issue
- **Testing**: Upstream maintainer sign-off (Alex Deucher) and cherry-
picked from mainline
### 7. User Impact
- **Severity: CRITICAL** - Complete display failure on HDMI
- **Scope: HIGH** - HDMI is ubiquitous; affects multiple hardware
generations (dce110, dcn20, dcn401)
- **Real users affected**: Bug report confirms actual user impact
### Conclusion
This commit is an **ideal stable backport candidate**:
1. The regression-causing commit was already backported to stable trees,
so stable users are currently broken
2. It fixes a critical user-visible bug (blank HDMI displays)
3. The fix is a simple, safe revert to known-good code
4. It has proper upstream maintainer approval
5. The risk of the revert causing problems is minimal (returning to
proven behavior)
The revert is **mandatory** for any stable tree that includes commit
`7965cb360655` to restore working HDMI functionality.
**YES**
